| Feb 19, 2013 at 14:42 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @JamesRyan I know from personal experience that an OT question can be rendered topical if the right answer it dropped on it. However, the Review Queue for close-voting doesn't show answers so that critical piece of feedback is left on the table; questions have to stand on their own merits all by themselves. | |
| Feb 19, 2013 at 13:37 | comment | added | JamesRyan | Ok this is a good point I guess, but ideally we should be able to pick those experts out regardless of a technical or non technical field. Easier said than done, I have no answer to that :) | |
| Feb 19, 2013 at 13:21 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @JamesRyan The problem comes when the non-domain experts think it's OT/bad. Our question volume is low enough that non-experts can follow everything and vote on things they (wrongly) think is out-of-place. Non-experts outnumber experts by quite a bit on most questions, so the opinion of non-experts actually matters and can drown out the opinions of experts. This is a case where community consensus excludes the ability to have a technical-exception to an agreed upon rule. | |
| Feb 19, 2013 at 13:10 | comment | added | JamesRyan | This is true but isn't the whole point of the stackexchange voting system designed to point out what is a good answer? We don't question the voters technical ability, how do we know that an answerer ISN'T a lawyer or for example someone MS certified in licencing? | |
