More common perhaps, but not always more significant.  Stack Overflow is a messy blend of the two: lots of questions want to do some strange thing, and it&#x27;s not always clear why.<p>The result is that people who don&#x27;t know better are taught how to do dangerous things (like messing with the history of shared git repos), while people with weird special circumstances get second guessed and lectured.<p>At least online, I absolutely disagree with the idea that it&#x27;s easy to tell the two groups apart.  Doing so is one of the bigger challenges for lots of &quot;advice&quot; forums.
