Of course there are soft questions that are practical, answerable, and reasonably scoped. On the other hand, if we want all questions to be fairly firmly decideable (Godel notwithstanding), then we should really be talking about the (soft question), (education) and other tags that are providing a space for questions that are not so clear-cut. | |
