💬 Two Things To Stand On
If ever you apply Thing 1 to ask a question in public, always keep in mind Thing 2— understand that there is often more.
I always find asking questions online intriguing. There is often so much ambiguity in responses. I find there is as much learning to be had in making sense of suggestions as there is of the suggestions themselves.
I agree completely. Finding answers to questions becomes something done actively, not just delivered to you by some authoritative oracle or a magic 8 ball. What you describe is so true when I am researching a technical issue in an environment like StackExchange. You have to read much into the replies, sort them, look through multiple threads.
And the same for product / software reviews. I sometimes save screenshots of adjacent ones like “This is the best thing ever! 5 stars” sitting right above “This ____ is broken, stay away from it”
