<p>I have also earned this badge for <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/108945/statistical-significance-or-unambiguous-direction-of-influence">a question of mine</a>. I would interpret this "zero-response" as the result of some, or all, of the following (assuming that the question covers the usual requirements for being on-topic, being clear, etc)  </p>

<p>a) Too specialized a question  </p>

<p>b) Too "textbook" as an issue (so everybody leaves the rather boring answer for everybody else)</p>

<p>c) Not textbook, but still dull </p>

<p>d) These are random processes and a zero-response has strictly positive probability of happening, just because of random variability. </p>
