@Mithrandir24601 @SanchayanDutta

I would personally just close it

So... What part of that question is unclear?

@Mithrandir24601 well, for one, it lacks a definition of what "authenticated quantum channel" means here. But apart from this, if the answer is an obvious "yes, so what?", that's not a good or useful question IMO, and I would therefore just assume the OP was not clear in the way they asked it (rather than assume the question was worthless to begin with)

also, in this particular case, the user keeps asking questions of this sort, and doesn't seem to care or be willing to act on the feedback he's been given about how questions should be asked (which will probably also end up with them getting a restriction on asking further questions)

@glS Yeah, this sort of thing is something I'm more worried about

@glS So, "not a good or useful question" isn't by itself grounds for closing and I'd argue neither is just assuming the OP wasn't clear... But lacking an important definition is I suppose good enough reason for closure given the rest

@Mithrandir24601 if we were on physics.SE, I would indeed use the "homework or not enough effort" (or whatever it's called now) reason to close, rather than the "unclear question" one, but lacking that reason here..

You've convinced me - it's now closed

@glS Yeah, there is a meta post about this

@SanchayanDutta I wouldn't say it's unclear exactly ('Not A Question' though, sure) In any case, as the question I've marked it duplicate of asks and answers the question the dupe (doesn't) ask, I've just marked it as duplicate

@SanchayanDutta what would that entail?

@SanchayanDutta it's a bit of a weird concept though. Like, doesn't the queue itself already highlight questions on which you should vote to close?

@glS Step 1 would be to re-read the answers to this meta question then either write another answer or (if you want to propose a new close reason) a new question

@Mithrandir24601 I mean I agree with the most upvoted answer. Avoiding "homework" in the wording and focusing on the "low effort" part. You mean to write a meta post proposing an explicit wording?

right. So have a meta post with an explicit wording, wait some time (say ~a week?) to give time to someone else to pitch in, and then proceed from there. I'll try to get it done this evening

@glS Yeah, as @SanchayanDutta said... You could do it as a feature request linking to the most upvoted answer and if we get a few upvotes we can implement it

@SanchayanDutta @Mithrandir24601 done!

@SanchayanDutta I just proposed to copy the math.SE reason, as that already looks pretty good to me. If you had something else in mind please add it as an answer!
