@TheGreatDuck Okay. I get it. A mod destroyed most of the teachable moments, as they too often do when appeasing whining answerers. I still included, afterward, a link to @quid's post in "whatever, quid"
chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/47167254#47167254, which argues that it is perfectly appropriate to downvote, vote to delete, answers which answer problem statement questions. In this case, had the handling mod read the original PSQ, they may have acted differently.
