And I have no problem admitting that I've participated in almost 9,000 close reviews, so I'm not sure the point you're making there. | |
| Feb 4, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | John Duffield | @Kyle Kanos : not always. The thing is, every time I see a good question that's been closed for no good reason. your name is in the list of people who voted to close it. | |

| Feb 3, 2016 at 13:21 | comment | added | John Duffield | I've voted to reopen this question. Sadly we seem to be seeing good questions closed by "the usual suspects" for no good reason. | |

| Feb 3, 2016 at 12:43 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | That question looks on the edge of on-topicness to me. Questions that ask "why was this set of tradeoffs chosen instead of this other one?" are not really our purview, but "what are the advantages of X vs Y?" often has a home here. The question is currently phrased closer to the former, but it can probably be rephrased to get closer to the latter (which is the actual core of the question). Feel free to edit it, and see what happens in the review queue. | |
