Once it is promoted to an answer the succint good reply becomes exposed to criticism for lack of references, etc. Senior members at ELU pride themselves on top quality well referenced answers so the member would have to spend a lot of time bringing the promoted answer up to their own exacting standards. Again, many such answers are posted in comments when the member feels that 'this is a bad question that needs to be voted closed and deleted but let me just give OP the right answer first' -- so helpful it is, I should think! | |
