| Feb 27, 2013 at 17:47 | comment | added | user40980 | Part of the challenge with history questions is that one is not always able to determine if something is speculation or if it is answerable prior to the answers being given. Even without providing an absolute "XYZ said" one can identify the chains of evidence and thought that lead to a specific historical event. | |
| Feb 27, 2013 at 17:34 | comment | added | user53019 | @YannisRizos - good point since I always have to find the practical problem. :-) However, if intellectual curiosity is a sufficient problem, then asking whether or not the question is trivial becomes a moot point. | |
| Feb 27, 2013 at 17:09 | comment | added | yannis Mod | I get the feeling that you are trying to find practical problems in the questions but when it comes to history questions, intellectual curiosity is the problem to be solved. It might not be as practical a problem as with every other question we have, but if you've honestly tried to find an answer, and you're stuck, it's definitely a problem and we can help you solve it. | |
