Because you're in the philosophy section! No black & white. It's all grey area!
If it was math & you ask what 2+2 is, everyone would say 4. A philosopher could even argue this isn't necessarily true. In philosophy there are really no "right" or "wrong" answers. It's very subjective. Everyone has an opinion, postulate, theory or idea. Some may express themselves more eloquently than others, some may have done more research but still there are no absolutes. Philosophy is based on varying theories & perspectives which cancel each other out. Who is right? The greatest philosophers throughout history disagree with each other & yet each made a convincing argument for their viewpoint.
Our answers are as unique as we are as individuals. There may be some similarities & agreements between us but none of us are exactly alike. We don't think or see things in precisely the same way.
So there you go. It's not exact. You ask questions, people answer & you choose whichever one you like the best. Whichever one seems the most "true" to you (most aligned with your own ideas.)

From the beginning of time man has been asking questions and finding answers and accepting or rejecting. Again finding more answer es etc till at least he is temporarily satisfied.
i will give you one example Many scientists questioned what is matter?
One school teacher named Dalton thought and came to the conclusion that "the ultimate particle of matter is atom"
This was accepted and was taught till another scientist found that the ultimate particle can be a combination of at least two atoms. So he named each of the component as an element
Then the definition of atom changed to"the ultimate particle of an element which cannot be divided further is an atom"
in 1913 another scientist Reuther ford found that atom can be split
and it is not one thing. it contains electrical charges both positive and negative" Like this it went on till the atom bomb was exploded. The research of questions and answers in this field are still going on.
This is the reason why every question gets many answers according to the depth of knowledge of each person who replies.

Because we interpret the question(s) in our own unique way, resulting in different answers and style. I must say, some are similar, but written differently.

There are many answers to a question; just not any answer.

Because all people are different with varied points of views. Also even when several people have the same answer, they will have different ways of saying it.
Lots of questions also have more than one answer~such as~what is your favorite movie, song, book, etc, etc?

Questions is often presented in general terms with many aspects. You cannot give only one answer to this kind of questions.
But there questions that are spesific, eg. "What time is it?" This kind of question need only one answer.
OK?

Mmmm, that is a good question...I've often wondered this myself. Maybe because everyone wants 2 pts for giving their 2 cents.
