<p>Given there has been no moderator comment on a policy (at this stage), this question seems like it might be on what we, as the community, think should be a good guideline or motto for answering questions.</p>

<p>I would like it to focus on, as @stephan kolassa has noted, good statistics AND positive sustainable answers - i.e. teaching how to fish, not handing a fish.</p>

<p>Sustainable answers are the ones that will discourage the selfish questions (can't be bothered learning, will just ask a forum) and encourage the learners - no matter what their statistical interest motivation is...</p>

<p>[maybe this question needs to be in a philosophy forum :) ]</p>
