Assuming readers cannot understand an answer in its own context is possibly, and for advanced users probably, incorrect. Therefore, valueing an answer in its own conext will be a clearer indication to look into the answer for valuable information, even if the answer itself is outdated. Many times I found my answer from reasoning, with a good, but totally outdated answer as a starting point. Simple conlusion: if an answer is good in its own context, it should be upvoted. | |
