I'm curious about this, I've seen questions where there are reasoned, logical answers that receive lots of "thumbs up" but are nt chosen as "best" by the asker, while I find that questions left open to voting tend to have the most accurate answer selected more often. 40% of my answers were selected as "Best Answers," but I feel that'd been alot higher if they were all voted on.
But I'm curious as to what you all think about this?

For those of you who like choosing the best answer, this implies you already know what the answer to the question is. If you already know the answer, then why are you asking the question? And if you don't know the answer (as many of the factually incorrect "best answers" demonstrate), then how are you qualified to select a best answer?

I prefer choosing my own best answer, while that is not completely fair as naturally I am a tad prejudice, it is better then putting something to vote and getting a tie, I still have questions that are a tie after 8 months.

Personally I give a thumbs up to all answers I agree with or think are good, just because I want the points awarded for giving a thumbs up to the best answer... ultimately the person asking the question has final say...so if they like going w/majority/mob rule in their decision making or making their own decision it's really up to them... but that's just my opinion!

For me it depends on what I'm looking for. If I am looking for like majority opinion then I'll go with the most votes as far as the answer goes or should I say in picking a best answer. But If I am like just looking for a good sound solid answer then I'll pick the one I like best.

i like to compliment my own ultimate solutions because of the fact there are a lot of human beings here who win "ultimate answer" because of the fact they get all their friends to vote for their answer despite if it is mediocre. Plus some human beings have multiple debts and try this. I "paid" 5 factors to ask the question and get 3 lower back for picking ultimate answer so why forfeit the factors and permit cheaters have an benefit?
