RE: What questions are worth asking?

I believe the biggest value of posing the right questions is not to receive the "right answer", but to trigger the "right discussion"
You learn the most through having your own ideas shattered, because you're forced to reevaluate your standpoint. You either change your view based on the arguments provided (even though this is a really complicated process and people are usually not really capable of doing this) or you at least have to find more supportive arguments for your position.
Also the voting system could help us with finding of the "right" answer, even though I believe there are little areas where you would find one correct answer. The votes will be also good in depicting the scale of "correctness" of the answers.

Exactly! That's what I'm hoping for.
