It seems to me that this jeremiad is a result of answering bad questions.

Good question on Stack Overflow are concrete. They don't usually call for lengthy answers. They don't call for recommendations. So they don't offer surface area for answers in which the writer will "tell you to use [some technology] which they never have laid their hands upon".

It's important to be careful and thoughtful when writing an answer, but this is not the place for a detailed, Talmudic, commentary on anything.

Instead of taking on the role of the prophet crying in the wilderness, you would be happier if you took your writing skills elsewhere. If you really are an expert with lengthy analysis to offer on technology topics, people will read your blog. Or even your book. Leave these tar-baby questions to those who can't resist the urge to answer them, whilst some of the rest of us attempt to close them.
