Also, the first two usually involve less work to answer because someone reading it either has an informed opinion to share or saw a web page on it. Answering the last question involves more work, and usually one has to wait a few years after publication to find someone who can answer it reliably. I believe a major criticism of the MO question on Mochizuki and ABC was " too soon to ask" . | |

I think that "is this paper correct" is a much more specific type of mathematical question than these two. | |
