You may know, but someone else asking the exact same question may not.

So sorry then, but listing every constraint and design descision it is.

You don't need to do that, a simple "I know what the XY problem is, and this isn't it" prefixed to every question you ask should be enough to stop the race to tell you all about the XY problem.

I mean, at this point it's clear that more people know about the XY problem than people ho don't.
