> It's not a good question tbh ESR is mostly wrong about this. He assumes that the person asking the question is not writing in good faith or that they have not considered and dismissed alternatives, without evidence. It's almost always appropriate to assume the person asked what they asked for a good reason ignore the question if you don't know the answer. SO is plagued with this nonsense, where people answer the question they wish was posted (because it's all they know?) instead of just moving on.
