I think that's a really good question. Doesn't mean that it won't have a good answer, but if the answer is non-obvious then why shouldn't it be asked?
- bluGill 4y agoTrue, but all too often the reason nobody else is has a great answer and you will spend a lot of time figuring it out. That is time you could spend instead on solving a real problem. Sometimes it is worth your time to ask why nobody else isn't because the answer turns out to give you a competitive advantage, but most of the time they have good reason and you will spend a lot of effort finding that reason.
