| Jul 28, 2016 at 18:19 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | @terdon not sure why asking to consider is constantly translated into demand. Not my words. | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 17:12 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @AndreaLazzarotto that's just it. There is no should. The OP may accept, or not, it's up to them. | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 17:10 | comment | added | Andrea Lazzarotto | You wrote what (quoting) should be done, not what the OP is free to do. Surely the OP is free to not accept, but this is not what should be done. Moreover, the OP might "feel" whatever they want. It doesn't change facts. (in this particular case, the fact that something is impossible if an accurate answer supported by facts is provided) | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 17:08 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @AndreaLazzarotto if the OP feels that "it's not possible" answers their question, they can accept. If they feel that the answer is not definitive, they are free not to. More to the point, the OP is free to never accept if they are not satisfied by the answer. | |
| Jul 28, 2016 at 16:42 | comment | added | Andrea Lazzarotto | «If no answer solves it, then none should be accepted» Assuming that the problem/question can be solved. I.e. the exact opposite assumption than what @JacobVlijm was talking about. | |

| Jun 25, 2016 at 1:01 | comment | added | Braiam | @pfeiffep be careful of that, one of my answers was upvoted just because I had the reputation, not because it was factually correct (through the theory was solid, just the implementation of such theory was flaky). terdon may remember which I am talking about, since he was who pointed out the mistake. | |
| Jun 24, 2016 at 19:30 | comment | added | pfeiffep | Reputation points can also guide those asking questions a method by which to judge which of multiple answers might best help their particular situation. Another aspect of this is commenting to the original question to aid the OP in some way - while some comments only point out this is a duplicate others are quite constructive even thought not qualifying as an answer. | |
