| Nov 27, 2019 at 15:15 | comment | added | Alex | Yeah, that feels too broad to me, too. That was why I targeted a specific documentation source, which falls into a different problem, lol. Quality Q&A is hard! :) | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 15:05 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | I was a little on the fence as you were asking a broadly technical question, but the "where is the documentation" part was key in my choice. If you'd have gone with "why do some sources state 4 layers and some 5? Is there a technical reason?" Then it could have been in scope as a specific technical query, but might still be a bit broad and opinion based depending on the source.... we aren't mind readers after all. I don't know how else to approach this. | |

| Nov 27, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | Alex | @Mokubai That's a really helpful perspective - thank you! I read "learning material recommendations" as "What's the best book for x?" questions vs. hunting for specs/doc references, so I'll adjust my approach to that here going forward and move my question elsewhere. | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 14:36 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | Mod hat off, I voted (as one of 5 users) because it was effectively asking us to go out and find documentation for something. We have a close reason that states that "product, service or learning material recommendations" are off topic and that was the main thing for me. | |
