@LangLangC Yeah, "HNQ are questions that are interesting", but not questions representative of the site

@Narusan Another look at PoliticsSE and one can see the perils of HNQ. [As of June 26, 2018 is the United States at war? [on hold]](politics.stackexchange.com/questions/31785/…). Starting to dislike HNQs altogether. "Drive by voting" in the hood?

I guess that "wisdom of the crowd" effect that is supposed to be harnessed on the sites and with HNQ also is failing quite often quite miserably. Once the bandwagon has waltzed through town it's increasingly difficult to justify the model of "good content rises to the top". It's all about popularity. Now, if experts can cook their argument into a digestible form, easy on the uninitiated, than all the better. But when that fails because the opinionated bored ones come along?

– Makes me think that that HNQ questions should get into the review queue for "too popular", erh, that is "obviously: primarily opinion based", "too basic", "too broad"?

@Narusan That is HNQs are not representative of the site and the voting on the posts is neither, au contraire.
