I hope this isn't just another "why" question, but if it is I want to learn from it.

I posted the first answer to [this question][1], at which time it was:

Hence my answer:

> ![enter image description here][3]

Then I went offline for eight hours (you know, to sleep :]). Now, I see since posting my answer, the OP materially edited the question, indicating what he *meant* to ask was:

> ...how I can find the wireless MAC address (aka BSSID) of any wireless access point with aircrack-ng...

Fair enough; he didn't ask what he wanted to on his first attempt.  **But why was my answer judged against the edited version of the question?** Shouldn't it instead have been downvoted, giving me the opportunity to revise it if I wished (or perhaps earn the [Peer Pressure][4] badge)?
