They are aware of certain statements made by the authors of such references. Worst come worst, elementary questions have many takers : many people post comments, there is more viewership and more interest. Any poster who is attentive to responses on their question can eventually shape it up to become decent (I should admit that some users have become very good posters after such conversations). | |

If these are mistakes at the research level, they are often excused as gaps in intuition. However, elementary mistakes are recognized easily and more glaring in nature (and unfortunately can also be mistaken with a lack of care in computation). The workaround I suggest is for such users to mention perfectly correct information known to... | |
