Neta, don't you know me well enough yet to know not ask what I think? That can start an unending letter. Everybody has a valid point in answer to this question. That is one of the reasons I asked it. For this question there is no wrong answer, only incomplete ones, and none could be complete. The issue is too complex.
I answer many questions that if I were wrong, the questioner would possibly die. I'm glad OronD thinks I'm 99.99% right (I would put that a little lower, but I ask the asker questions so I'm not guessing too much). So on one hand, a wrong answer could be fatal, or injurious, or cause needlessly destruction of personal or public property (remember the discussion about employees and safety equipment?). Harryvan also says that people could give up looking for the right answer, which could have serious consequences in many ways.
On the other hand, some people ask questions, not so much for the answers, but to have some human contact in a world that counts them as a cipher. A cog in the machine that is totally replaceable and has little value. For them, any answer is better than none at all. It means, "I hear you and someone cares".
On the other hand, look at all the questions that come from the AOL forum on weight loss "How to lose ten pounds in a week", or something like that. These people are looking for affirmation of a mistaken notion. Giving them the answer to how to lose ten pounds would be injurious to their health, yet correct. The advice I give them, when I answer, is proper as regards their health, but wrong in that non of my solutions (except the surgical ones) tell them what they want to know.
On the other hand, many of the questioners are emotionally disturbed or in an abusive relationship, or facing some other crisis where the wrong answer could exacerbate their problem. Giving them advice on how to deal with this problem themselves could be worse then no advice. When I know I can't help from here, I try to help them connect with people in their area that can really help to deal with their problem. But not knowing what country they are in, their culture, and many other things, of course my answer lacks specifics in many cases. It may be that the person I recommend them to is a person that can inflict even more harm (since I sometimes tell people to consult with a doctor or policeman, and in my country, sometimes that can have very bad unintended consequences).
So, I see a lot of gray in the answer, and no black and white. That is why I asked the question. I wanted other people to show me more shades of gray. I didn't even touch on the spiritual issues that people ask about that I answer, and the ones I ignore. Plus, I always can use a little affirmation now and then, and I have gotten that from the answers, too.
