This culture doesn't really invite towards answers improving over the years as more and more people who might know more happen to come across them.

Interesting how this is the case, because that was one of the key goals of the site when they were first building it.

I listened to Joel and Jeff talk about it in their early podcasts when they were first building the site. To be the definitive answer for a question requires that the answer be able to change and evolve over time as new information becomes available.
