Q: Should we reopen "The resolution of which conjecture/problem would-advance mathematics the most?"

fedjaThe question is whether we should reopen it (link here). My point of view is that we should because a) It is asked by an intelligent and highly respected user. b) It hasn't generated a single ridiculous or flaming response. In general, I would prefer to close "opinion-based" questions only if...

I did not cast any votes either way, but the trouble I see with the question is that it is implicitly asking, "Which subfields of mathematics are the most important?" While this is not as inflammatory as a question about politics, it is opinion-based in a way that seems inappropriate for MO. — Timothy Chow 10 hours ago
