Greetings,
Something can be done now thanks to crowdsourcing via the internet that could not be done before with books. Most questions asked here can be answered thanks to the combined knowledge, imagination, and explanatory skills of a vast number of people. And those answers can be updated if need be.
When the asker is satisfied the question has been answered, it should be marked as answered and added to a FAQ.
If someone has further questions about a topic, merely addressing that as it in a post as it is done now causes the complete answer to be spread out through the thread. What is needed is the complete answer in one post. So instead of just responding, the answer should be updated. It should be improved.
So you have a list FAQs and the post that is the "current best answer" complete and easy to find rather that having to read through a hundred post thread.
The point is, the answers to many important questions exist here but the complete answers are scattered all over. Each FAQ should have a "current best answer" which is revised if someone has further questions.
For example, the balloon analogy. Has that been answered yet? One has to read through pages of posts to try to find out, and the answer might not even be there yet.
If not here, somewhere. So much time could be saved and so many people's important questions that desperately seek the answers to can be found.
Thanks
