Taking it to a pedantic extreme the only questions that are not lacking research effort are primarily opinion based or original research (i.e., a question which has no answer, direct or indirect, in any library or electronic resource, including disassembling binaries). NOTE: I'm not suggesting that every question on most SE sites should be closed or DV'd, I'm just kind of bored at lunch, heh. | |

Да, нет наверное. The popularity was eventually the reason to keep the question open :-). I see a consistent difference between Insufficient research and no research at all. BTW IMO it is a programming question of a course with a wide (really wide) number of answers made by a student that asked us to answer his homework... and it was popular (that allowed me to doubt about the opportunity to close it, and to write the question on meta...). ps> thanks for your answer.
