| Jul 2, 2017 at 15:56 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I see an issue with this for MathOverflow. Sometimes one is grappling with a specific situation and is looking for some or any thread to help unravel and understand it. The meta question is "Help? Reference or Idea please?", and sometimes this is permissible. However, more experience allows one to specify the kinds of things that might help, and specifying these indicates that more thought has been put into the question. I think such advice as stated in your post is bad for this forum. Gerhard "It Suggests A False Optimum" Paseman, 2017.07.02. | |
