One cannot criticize anything ever if they don't have a better solution? You can't think of any benefit to people collectively discussing their seemingly unsolvable problem? You don't think that people discussing a problem that seems to have no solution have ever come up with a solution??

All problems in history were solved by individuals who immediately had the correct answer without any discussion?!!

How many problems were solved by shutting down discussions do you think? Are we thinking stifling conversations causes more problem solving?!



But the commenter I initially replied to is not discussing in good faith, they're diatribing and soapboxing. That is why my question was framed as rhetorical, not to shut down actual discussion.
