> Because once you can construct the perfect question, you can most certainly answer it yourself. Not if what you're lacking is declarative knowledge, which is what the site tries to elicit, to a first approximation anyway. You should reduce the question to the point where you can say "between substeps 1.3.5 and 1.3.6 there seems to be a proposition I don't know. What is it?" If you can't reduce the problem to a missing proposition, there are better resources to turn to for help with debugging it step-by-step until you have isolated a problem. I've had success with mentoring and IRC.
