| Aug 17, 2015 at 12:41 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | @Koen There is a simple truth: if I ask the (exact) same question twice, and I get a good answer to the first question, it fits the second. If not, at least one of the questions was not specific enough. It's your job to point out the difference. In other words: if a question turns out to be environment specific, either an answer should be given in a generic way (actually multiple answers) or (better), both questions should be made more specific. You might agree the question is a dupe, reality proves they are not. Your proposal is trying to fix the problem at the wrong end. | |

Indeed, I moved to the other question of which mine was a duplicate, and asked for help there, rather than pretending that my question was unique and not asked before. B) You don't really go into my argument of setting expectations of finding an answer, which was basically the main point of my argument. Curious what you think about that. | |
