if you think about it, fruit only exists to spread seeds, the colours primary function is to attract birds, blue is hard for them to see, so blue fruited plants to do not thrive and spread.
there is a place where blue fruits survive, under foliage, in the forrest, because the canopy filters the light and makes blue easier to see. so some blue fruits have survived.

"Currently, any blue or green food on the U.S. market gets its hues from certifiable colors FD&C Blue No. 1 (Brilliant Blue), Blue No. 2 (Indigotine), or Green No. 3 (Fast Green). Blue No. 1 and Green No. 3 are both petroleum-derived triphenylmethanes--that is, they have three aromatic rings attached to a central carbon atom. Blue No. 2 is a disodium sulfonate of a naturally occurring compound called indigo. However, the indigo used to create Blue No. 2 is synthesized by fusing N-phenylglycine in a molten mix of sodamide and sodium and potassium hydroxides."

No, no! It's nothing personal! I'm glad to hear your answer - I wish he had left it online. (Bilberries are one of my favourite fruits - do they grow better in the shade? All the more for me if so : )
He might have already heard or found an answer he liked and hoped to save anyone else trouble. Politer to have acknowledged the answers he'd received ... but he might not hav realised this. I have often seen my Q&A listed with zero answers and clicked on the question to find five answers anyway.
He might have posted it for a bet with his pal or partner and found that he was wrong, instead of proving his point, and zapped it in annoyance. Or to make a point - "I bet you all that this is the one question that nobody can possibly answer."
Or he might have had it as a school assignment, and now that he has an answer, removed it to stop his classmates from searching yahoo for their own homework, so that he looks good.
Or - who knows? Maybe he hasn't gotten many points and hopes that he will retrieve 5 points by taking the question out? I don't 'play for points', so I don't know if that's how the system works.
It would have been better if he had left it online, I agree with you.
He's learning. Aren't we all?

Your study simply did not relatively reply the query. You simply proved what he already recounted. It was once extra of an opinion query. Not each and every query is watching for study however simply typically your opinion on a few subjects. He already knew Asians were not wonderful he wasn't watching for a college licensed assets to turn out that females even in his possess race were not interested in Asians. His query was once asking why matters are that manner?Why do individuals believe this fashion? Not turn out why Asians are unattractive, with a study research. You could much more likely supply an opinion for this query in view that it's an opinion sort query. Sure you'll be able to use information to base your opinion. But for those who desired to again your opinion up you might seem up again it up with definitions or stereotypes of unattractive and wonderful Asians. I'm certain you might discover a research that says that for those who desired to waste time getting to know however large needless study does not consistently supply the pleasant solutions. University study does not make it correct. Especially whilst your study does not even reply the query. So no I do not believe its a well illustration of why yahoo solutions demands to take away a thumb down method. I believe its an illustration of why it demands to stick. The reply did not aid reply the query however as a substitute simply gave a college licensed respectable useful resource of study, that proved what the asker already knew and did not reply his truly query. Why are matters this fashion. What makes Asians unattractive.
