I would have deleted your answer as well if I were a moderator of the same reasons that were outlined by the others. This really is a research level question that someone could get a solid paper and maybe even a thesis out of and your answer is very hand-wavy and mildly editorialized (i.e. "Jeffs bureaucracy") in way that doesn't really add much to the answer.

At a minimum a solid answer to this question is going to need someone that can apply standard economic methodologies and justify their use since the value of stackoverflow.com is in the long tail of questions which means that you can't even assign the same economic value to each question since an answer to an especially hard question will have greater value than "How do I sort a list of strings in Python?"
