              Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”[17] This refers to the observation that people are quicker to correct a wrong answer than to answer a question.

        Psst. That’s the joke.

        I quickly responded to your question with no, but the only people who would do that are people who really want to answer questions.

        In any case, I think you’re correct enough for this joke. At least some people really want to answer questions, and I have a questioning 5 yo.

          There IS an extent to which this seems true for everyone, tho… Like, we were all “parented” in some way and that almost always involves answering and learning to defend oneself…
