      ‘obviously’, I tend to correct wrong answers, instead of feeling inclined to answering straight out haha

        I think you mean that you follow Cunningham’s Law. /s

            Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”[17] This refers to the observation that people are quicker to correct a wrong answer than to answer a question.
