@MikeFoxtrot I have no direct experience with this kind of things, but posting 2 answers on the same questions looks like a cheap way to game the system trying to get extra rep for no work.
The question is one and your answer is made of two parts, I see no reason to post 2 separate answers
also there they were dealing with code solutions, where two alternatives might be compared, here you are dealing with two aspects that do not cancel each other out
then again, it was two ways to approach the question: one that it is stupid to look at the dataset that way, and another that there are more ways to die in a plane than in a crash.
Prompted by MikeFoxtrot's multiple answers ( 1 & 2 ) on the same question.
We had a brief conversation in chat and we agreed that having a site-wide consensus would be appropriate.
Is it appropriate for a user to post multiple answers to a question? When yes? When no?
