One comparison is with Stack Overflow (SO). Given a task, there are usually multiple answers. The question may not even be relevant; often, multiple question pages must be compared.
The best answer is the one that fits the aesthetics of my approach--one that didn't exist before (there was only the problem before), but the answer is simple, straightforward, or adaptable.
Having multiple answers is good because different minds evaluated the question. It is a buffet of alternatives, starting from others' first principles, mistakes, and experience. Some are rejected outright from some tacit taste organ. Others become long-lived browser tabs, a promise to read carefully someday (never).
All this is void if it turns out using SO is similarly degenerative in the same way, though.
