I recently asked a question and received this answer:

No, hard drives are in sealed enclosures and these images are marketing shots to give you an idea of the engineering inside.

That's it. One sentence of opinion with no supporting facts whatsoever.

There are, currently, 5 other answers and all but one of them provide evidence, and/or details to back up their claims. Yet this answer has 4 times as many votes as any other answer!!!

• Does evidence count for so little on SuperUser? How can this be the best answer when, by rights, it should be converted to a comment?
• Is there vote fraud afoot?
• Should I bow to public opinion and switch the accepted answer?
