[My question] was closed due to it being "Not constructive".

Now, I hate to be the one whining and stuff, but I _really_ think the reason for closing the question is kinda.. odd. 

As far as I can tell, this question's only got three possible outcomes:

    1. Positive: I know it and here's where you can find it.
    2. Neutral:  Can you provide more details?
    3. Negative: Nope, never seen it.

None of them is likely to

    [..]solicit opinion, debate, arguments[..]

Anyway, I _kinda_ understand why it might be closed, but I'm really just interested in a simple explanation.
