The FAQ conflicts with the reason for closing message, because if you compare the type of question I'm talking about here to the explanation in the FAQ:

Adding three words or development environment to the FAQ will clear this up.

I'm not talking about an insignificant number of questions that are affected by this, I believe it a substantial proportion of questions in the Close votes review queue, that are closed as off topic.
