text: why do people using answers not genuinely pick best answer on its relative meit/s? if a person uses education-derived data in a frank straightforward manner and is directly aimed at the asked question with relavant data, then it is the best answer.  if chose any other answer not satisfying this criteria, then you are playing some form of disserving game. a lot of times the person asking the question is really looking for someone to reinforce their own logic.and therefor pick an answer already based along their own line of thought.
