Yeah, see that's frustrating. The point isn't his answer. The point is that his non-answer got him upvotes from his fans, and that when I tried to address this broken reputation system in meta, people aggressively missed the point exactly like you did.
It's just weird how often a discussion on something on SO ends up with someone complaining about overzealous downvoting or closing of their perfectly reasonable question, but no one can ever actually post a link to it.
To me that says they're not telling the whole truth about their own behavior.
Given there could be any number of reasons that strangers on the internet do not supply to you that which you demand, especially given the down-votey tone you demand it; it is instructive that you narrow in on the least charitable.
I quit SO in 2014, and asked Stack Exchange to delete all data from my accounts across their properties. I doubt any link exists.
