Mutual M: Nobody ever responds to my question about subject S. It’s a major social issue, and I ask what can be done to solve it, and people just avoid the issue.
Random stranger: I have an answer. [Something that sounds reasonable when I read it].
M: That’s not actually an answer, because [reasonable-sounding explanation of how the stranger is missing the point of the question.]
Other random stranger: My answer is [sounds reasonable].
M: That’s also not an answer, because [sounds reasonable].
Third random stranger: I have an answer. [Sounds reasonable].
M: Nobody is answering the question I asked! That’s not an answer, because [sounds reasonable].
