I know we discourage questions that are primarily personal experience, but what about answers? I see them pretty frequently (like the bottom answer herehere), and to my mind they rarely contribute to the discussion on the level that we're looking for, but I thought I'd ask about a policy. Is there a specific strategy we're aiming for? Should they be downvoted or commented upon or what?
