This might be the deepest issue with Stack Overflow.<p>People post some bizarre objective&#x2F;problem (because the bizarre stuff is what you need to ask about), and half the comments are people asserting that their goal is wrong.<p>There&#x27;s no clear solution, though, because half the time the goal really <i>is</i> misguided, and the other half the &quot;right&quot; way is for some reason unavailable.  The best answer I&#x27;ve seen is for commenters to offer &quot;you <i>really</i> shouldn&#x27;t do that normally, but you could try this to make it happen&quot;.
