But when I sit down to turn that same title into a question, ah! Now I have to think about how to ask the question in such a way to get the exact answer I am looking for. A statement-title is not nearly as precise, and I say it even provokes discussion, seeing how it is open-ended. | |
| Feb 12, 2013 at 14:34 | comment | added | bgmCoder | I agree, the question-title is much more interesting than the original statement-title, although it is true they could have phrased their statement-title to better reflect their true issue. However I completely agree that phrasing the title as a question forces the user to clarify just what he wants. In fact, I would go so far as to say it makes the question precisely resolveable. | |
