Hello, I posted what I thought was a legitimate question on Super User at https://superuser.com/questions/113113/why-are-brownouts-so-harmful-closed 

It was closed almost immediately as not a real question with the explanation "This is not a discussion site"

I think if it were to be closed it'd be for not computer related, but not for "not a real question." This was also closed by a moderator, without any other community request for the closing(no downvotes or close votes or even comments saying I'm stupid)

Do requests for an explanation not count as a question?
