| Oct 2, 2018 at 19:16 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Indeed, it does mean not accurate (like shooting an arrow). Sorry for the idiom. Your first version seemed (to me) less accurate than this version. And really, accuracy is not as important as capturing the intent. This version (at the moment ) does a better job at getting the intent of the comments right. Don't worry about accepting your own answer; that is your right as question proposer.

I hope it is OK, to accept my own answer according to MO rules. If I understand idiom "wide of the mark", it means that I am not accurate, right ? | |

| Oct 2, 2018 at 15:09 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | It is possible he means ask for references to existing surveys. However, to me this does not quite fit as a comment summary, and as an interpretation I find it a little wide of the mark. Gerhard "Hopefully Mark Will Clarify Further" Paseman, 2018.10.02. | |
| Oct 2, 2018 at 14:54 | comment | added | Andy Putman | In general, I think that requests for surveys of topics will be poorly received and closed as "too broad" unless they are extremely tightly focused (and probably not phrased as a request for a survey). | |
