The over-arching rule is that you need to back up answers through either sources (where possible) or logic, and you must satisfy the constraints of the question (which the asker must specify if unusual). A science question could be answered reasonably by logic; we shouldn't require journal citations blindly. | |

| Sep 23, 2014 at 19:07 | comment | added | KRyan | I... tentatively support this, but am leery of the last one. I'm also not sure we need to strictly classify types of questions (and imagine that there is more of a continuum from 1 to 3), but rather let context/good judgment guide us on that. I think it's more important to generate a community consensus about it to reference when encouraging people to improve answers or tighten questions. And I'm not sure how this answer will do that for questions/answers on the 3 end of the spectrum. | |
