> A huge pet peeve of mine: I ask a really difficult question that might be impossible to answer, then someone interprets it as needing ANY answer (rather than a correct answer) and they just start talking. Or they answer the surface level question but don’t understand how much deeper it goes.

It's funny how many HN comments fit this mold. Which actually makes this site very entertainig, because there's not that many other sites where you can hear utterly deranged opinions about things you know about :D
