According to this logic, is asking whether this is a java problem also off topic, because it's not a java problem? So you have to know the answer to know if the question is on topic. Great rules.

Lawyers have a saying "Never Ask A Question If You Don’t Know The Answer". Not sure how it applies, but reminded me of it.
I'm going to guess this actually means "A lawyer defending or prosecuting a client should never ask a question in a courtroom if they don't already know the answer"
