| Jan 2, 2023 at 15:57 | comment | added | Patrick Stevens | @Oddthinking A suggestion: to the sentence "Original research is not generally allowed.", append the sentence "This also applies to answers that show that the premises of the question are invalid; such answers must still be cited and may not be original pure logic.". I believe after this change, the FAQ will contain a reference for what I most recently asked you. | |

clarify that questions need not "reference" (in the sense of "include a link or source") a notable claim, it need only be about one.

At the time of writing, the top answer, which involves citing an experiment where people actually went running in the rain, has twelve times the votes of an answer that cites an argument "assume the walker is a box..." | |
