Dec 20, 2015 at 5:07 comment added user40980 @JonEricson they started with those specialized guidance bits recognizing the problem that they'd have from the start. The entire community that maintains and curates it agrees on those principles. You will find much less cohesion of similar principles here - though the portion of the community that maintains and curates the answers here tend to be fairly consistent. What principles we have come up with ("name that thing is problematic", asking "is it possible" needs to be refined", asking "what did so and so mean" is guesswork) came up with on a case by case basis as we recognized problems.

Now they need specialized guidance to keep posts focused and it's entirely fine to refuse these questions on this site. But let's not be unscientific about why these questions don't fit this site.
