SO isn't a canonical source, they're another content farm using nofollow links to the content they appropriate to maintain their search edge.
Its entire purpose is to inject itself as a search middleman. Even worse, I find myself landing there from google results to a question they had closed as not worthy of the site, but worthy enough still to keep up for the search juice.
