For example, if you said "ignoring friction, why does terminal velocity exist", then you would correctly get comments saying "you can't ignore friction." That's not a failure of reading comprehension. Cases like this are why I'd like to see concrete examples. | |
| Jun 20, 2016 at 0:37 | comment | added | knzhou | @MBarbosa Do you have a specific example in particular? A lot of the time, especially in relativity and "popsci" particle physics, I can identify "oh, this user has X misconception" within the first few lines. Then I just skim the rest. Many people do this, and it works at least 90% of the time, but I admit it's not perfect. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 18:01 | comment | added | M Barbosa | @Qmechanic not in the sense of multiple questions, more like details they overlook. For example if I state clearly in my text that I am ignoring the effects of friction, but then someone comments/answers saying something negative involving the effects of friction | |
