Apr 29, 2016 at 20:23 comment added G__ Mod IN general, agree that the voting system theoretically helps sort better answers to the top, but it's difficult in that there is plenty in this field where there isn't a definitive, rigorous, the-science-always-works answer.
Apr 29, 2016 at 20:22 comment added G__ Mod @G_H Since the asker does the accepting, no worry that they are going to misinterpret the fact of it being accepted.

Apr 8, 2016 at 7:11 comment added G_H @EricKaufman The same problem occurs on other SE sites. On StackOverflow many people only come to ask one question and bail after getting their answer. Many also do not bother to then accept it or don't even seem to know this is expected of them.
Apr 7, 2016 at 18:24 comment added Eric @G_H I hear you on that, but the reality is that most people don't come back three years later. A lot of folks come on here to get an answer, then bail forever, or they stick around for a few weeks and then bail. The accepted answers just don't change much.
Apr 7, 2016 at 18:04 comment added G_H Even if an answer doesn't have a high score, if it gets accepted then the asker might still consider it reliable information.
Apr 7, 2016 at 17:20 comment added JohnP Mod If you add a new answer, it will at least get seen, as any change will bump it to the top of the front page "active" list. Agreed though, it may not be seen by the original asker, etc.
