| Oct 2, 2013 at 15:51 | comment | added | Scolytus | @lain Exactly. And neither is a duplicate of another. As you mentioned, they are different. Different questions resulting in the same answer. So what you tell me is that on SF you mark questions resulting in the same answer as a duplicate per policy? That would be a different practice than on other sites. | |

| Oct 2, 2013 at 10:40 | comment | added | Scolytus | Well, I guess you don't understand me. I'm talking about semantics. I asked 'How can I do?' and you flagged it as a duplicate of 'How do I use a particular tool?'. Those are two different things. And really it's not about this particular question. It's about me not understanding why these two question are a duplicate, the same. If one had answered "Use oom_score_adj" that would have been a valuable answer. I didn't mention it because I was looking for it! Again: This is about understandig why these questions are considered a duplicate on SF. :) | |
