Why is "this" question physics, but "that" question is not?

$\begingroup$ Closing takes time. While the 2nd is clearly engineering, the first could go either way. You have VtC privileges so why not VtC as a math question if you think it is? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Seconding ZeroTheHero's comment, the question that is not closed is only an hour old. The typical time it takes for a question to go through the close review queue is much longer than that. The closed/open status of (or even the votes on) such a recent question, especially during a time of low activity (Christmas/end-of-year holidays in many places), don't really say anything about what the community thinks about the question. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @ZeroTheHero because I would not close either and usually prefer to defer to my elders... More importantly, I was not arguing either way, just wanted to know. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @hyportnex you have been a member for 9 years 2 months now; by comparison I have been member for 9 years and 4 months. You are as much of an "elder" as I am. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Re "belonging to engineering": Do you mean the Stack Exchange site Engineering? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Likely because someone who got lucky with a 1000+ point answer 10 years ago says so. $\endgroup$
