My argument is that there are too many natural subjective contradictions that while annoying, actually make things better. Laying out a law and then following it to the letter wouldn't just take longer, it'd make things worse. | |
| Sep 8, 2016 at 13:07 | comment | added | Oli Mod | I completely missed your initial example of what was going wrong. A certain amount of responsibility lies with the person asking the question. If 5 people come to the conclusion it's a duplicate, perhaps the problem is with the question's wording, not procedure that leads up to it being closed. An incorrect dupe-close should be a prompt to clarify. | |
