Edit: I hadn’t read Zack’s long reply when making this comment, so it wasn’t factored into it. Likely would have said something very slightly different if I had.

Entirely fair of you to make the meta-note. Data point from me: I actually found the question/answer pairs quite helpful + think they’re reasonable; I probably could have generated answers for a system I set up, but I haven’t fully absorbed your proposal enough to do so on your behalf.
Actually, something generally helpful to hear is the “it’s highly context specific.” That seems true and a good answer. I think I would have tried to specify some overarching principle for all these cases and done so poorly.
Treading carefully, I’ll say that I can’t speak to the motivations/attitudes behind the questions, and I thought the wording in the other question wasn’t very good, but both questions themselves seem good to me.
