Look again, we agree on the same thing. The process that took place was fine. It wasn't to dismiss but to confirm what was already known in this case and dealt with. All questions are fine as they reveal many things during the search for answers. If the search for the answer dismisses the question as relevent or is only partially relevent then we have gained more knowledge. Someone may offer a question that reveals they have not the expertise to have considered other known facts that some are in possession of, another may have partial or all of the known facts. As a result the question may be valid, partially valid or not. Either way we have gained. I guess my inference was not clearly enough draw.
The former was about questions that are rendered with honourable intent. We have had many attempts to create doubt using questions for unfortunate reasons and I make no reference to any posts of late. Any who wish to create contention on the latter do so on their own. Mistakes are made because of assumptions on motives as there always will be and should be responded to as mature adults.
