| Mar 14, 2019 at 13:15 | comment | added | NotArch | @vicky_molokh Fair enough, but in the case of your question it does seem like based on general site tag usage it isn't appropriate. I appreciate the concern and your openness to discussing it. This tag in particular is really tricky. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 13:13 | comment | added | vicky_molokh- unsilence Monica | @NautArch I'm puzzled by how much emphasis you put on absurdity compared to its rather small role in the tag criteria as described/prescribed, and think that the question at a minimum is an edge case based on things described throughout the metas, including even your explanation (in part), but am now accepting the decision to remove the tag on that specific question. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 13:09 | comment | added | NotArch | @vicky_molokh That may be true, but that's not what your question is about. You are asking about the benefits of a certain ship type. It may be tangentially related, but it's not the crux of your question and it can likely be answered without even referring to that possible absurdity. | |

| Mar 13, 2019 at 21:07 | comment | added | NotArch | @vicky_molokh That still doesn't utilize the tag for that. The tag is for "this strict interpretation of the rules leads to this really not reasonable interaction - is that right?!" Asking purely about mechanics and how they work is just day to day what we do here. | |
| Mar 13, 2019 at 20:31 | comment | added | vicky_molokh- unsilence Monica | Hmm. Regarding your second paragraph: Someone telling 'hey, you overlooked Rule B on page XX, which interacts with Rule A on page YY, which results in engine 2 being better for actions so-and-so' would be helpful in my case. Likewise, a confirmation that there isn't a beneficial interaction without stepping outside the literal reading. | |
