I searched my browser history for “stackoverflow” and randomly picked out a few SO answers I recently searched for:
"in C++, why do I need to use `this->` when a template derived class accesses members of its template base class?" [0] All of the answers to this question are extremely informative and to-the-point.
"in bash, how do I sleep infinitely?" [1] Again, super informative answers that both answer the question concisely, and then delve into the intricacies of why it's a more complex task than meets the eye.
"why are Python hashes different between sessions?" [2] Highly informative answer that highlights something not easily found in the docs
"apparmor is hanging mysql service on Ubuntu" [3] top answer gives a one-line solution to fix this problem, and explains why it arose in the first place.
Even fairly high-level questons ("what is a Python metaclass?") have great SO answers. In fact, I have that one bookmarked to share with people who ask me, since it's the best description I've ever seen. [4]
I wonder if my experience is due to the sort of question I usually search for: very specific and technical, leaving little room for pedantry, dogmatism, or evangelism. For instance, "how do I flush the Linux disk cache," has exactly one right answer: `echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` [5]. One cannot be pedantic about this ("there are many definitions of disk cache, and it is meaningless to answer your question without clarifying further"), dogmatic ("the disk cache exists for a reason, and there is no reason to flush it"), or evangelistic ("why are you not running BSD?")
