| May 15, 2013 at 1:10 | comment | added | Tango | Just a note to people who answered or were wondering about the answer. There were some good answers to this. I selected the one that best helped me understand it. I know that's not the one most people liked, and that one is good, but I went with what connected with me the best. | |

| May 12, 2013 at 17:41 | comment | added | David Z | I'm aware of that, but it doesn't change anything. In fact questions which are inappropriate for the site often get high vote totals - I'm not necessarily saying this is one of them, only that it's easy to read too much into a question's score. | |
| May 12, 2013 at 15:38 | comment | added | Tango | I'd also point out to @DavidZaslavsky that this question has 10 votes from site members, and when I went through 10 pages of questions, I found one with 9 votes, one or two with 6, one with 5, and 2-3 with 4 votes. That indicates site members value this question. And if the point of SE, overall, is to provide better content on the Internet to provide better quality information for people looking for answers, clearly, that's happening here, whether it's expert level or not. | |
| May 12, 2013 at 12:27 | comment | added | DQdlM | @DavidZaslavsky totally, I was just observing that despite the target the less "expert" questions often get more traction and end up on the hot questions page. It wasn't a judgement or criticism just an observation. | |
| May 12, 2013 at 4:31 | comment | added | David Z | @KennyPeanuts It just suggests that questions which have less technical detail tend to be easier to answer, which is no surprise. That doesn't say anything about what kinds of questions this site is targeted at. | |

| May 11, 2013 at 23:48 | comment | added | DQdlM | @DavidZaslavsky I agree with you but it seems telling that this question has multiple answers and the duplicate has none. | |

| May 11, 2013 at 20:07 | comment | added | David Z | Tango, bear in mind that this is primarily an "expert-level" site. "Expert" doesn't have to mean a professional physicist, but it does imply some level of understanding of the basic ideas of the field. Providing answers which are understandable by people with no training in physics is not our goal. That being said, you might get an understandable answer anyway. | |

| May 11, 2013 at 18:03 | comment | added | Tango | That may cover the same material, but for us non-physicists and non-math people, it's not understandable. If the goal here is to provide answers people can find that they can understand, then this is a concrete example many of us have seen and we already have answers that are easy for the technically ignorant (self included) can understand. | |
