Why was this downvoted? It's a fair question and it wasn't stated as fact.

Because an accepted answer to that specific question is invariably a link/reference that the asker could have searched for (and posted if they think it's useful for the discussion) themselves directly, instead of putting that burden on the rest of us and amortizing everyone's attention. It's entitled and lazy.

Alternative example: "I wondered what the rules actually say about web search and it is indeed not allowed: (link)"
