I downvoted, and I'd like to explain why and with the disclaimer I also did not understand a lot of what was asked. This was a technical question on a subject that takes years to master properly. It's not fair on the questioner to have to try and explain that to the rest of us when Google will suffice, nor on the author that would understand the question as asked to have to waste time getting to the point of the question.

That's fine. I took his question as obtusely academic and that he would have been the best person to easily append a few clarifying statements as to why the rest of us should have to process his question. And I understand that I am being downvoted by the people that either understand his question and sympathize, or by people that feel I should have devoted some time to understanding his question. I do not agree with this, and so my original decision to ask him for more. I find that I generally have to emulate a different persona than I really am in order to stay above the ice around here. I don't take your downvote personally. [This was written before the grandparent edited their post with lots of clarifying information]
