This isn't entirely accurate. The "not a suitable question" response is generally "This is not a suitable question for Stack Overflow".

Stack Overflow is unashamedly narrow in the questions it permits. If it's for a different topic, there are probably other Stack Exchange sites that cover that topic. If it's not a question with a possible definitive answer, then it's just not suited to this format. Stack Overflow is not the place to have technical discussions with smart people, despite the fact that your question will have a smart audience.
