I don't disagree with this sentiment, but I would like to point out the other side of the coin.

When I ask a question about how to do something, I find all too often that my question never gets answered. Instead, the thread gets taken over by an argument over whether anybody should ever do that.

While it's good to hear about the dangers of doing something or alternative ways of doing it, I would generally also like an answer to my question.
