You don't need to know how to cure cancer to know that poking me in the eye won't cure cancer. You don't always need the right answer to recognize a wrong answer.
- ebbv 13y agoI didn't ask for the right answer. I said how about any kind of suggestion. He's not being helpful, he's just being a douche.
- randallsquared 13y ago"I didn't ask for the right answer. I said how about any kind of suggestion." What? If the suggestion isn't a good one, it's worse than no suggestion at all, which at least won't mislead people into spending resources. Saying "I don't know the answer" is better than pretending you know the answer, if you don't.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoSo if you had cancer and it was suggested that to cure it you should poke yourself in the eye... you would prefer for people (who don't know how to cure cancer) to just walk on by rather than letting you know that poking yourself in the eye isn't going to help? Sometimes the best (only) suggestion a person can give is to suggest that what you are doing is not going to work.
