Do you think that every good question produces a good answer??

Question

good by what the person who asks the question thinks is good

Answer 1

Good questions produce more questions.

Answer 2

Of course not.

Particularly if you let the asker define "good" there's exactly zero need for any question asked to any group to produce a "good" answer.

What you do get, is the "best" answer available given the resources at your disposal.

Answer 3

I wish. Particularly in this setting there are too many extraneous factors to guarantee anything of the sort.

I'm afraid I disagree that the quality of the answer is determined by the quality of the question - I've heard/seen (and - if modesty permits - given) some fantastic answers to utterly preposterous questions.

In terms of YA, I think a slight adaptation of the old saying is appropriate: "Ask any question, expect at least one really stupid answer."

Answer 4

No. If the criteria for a good answer is solely based on the asker's opinion and the asker does not get the answer they are looking for then it is not a good answer. (according to the asker). But someone else, i.e. the answerer might think it is an excellent answer.
Every good question has the potential for a good answer.

Answer 5

No. And I say that with authority as a teacher. I have asked some very remarkable questions of my students, and I normally get remarkable answers, but every once in a while I get answers that are completely ridiculous.

Example: Why was humanism a revolutionary concept?

Answer: Revolutionary is too big a word. Why not just say "neat?"

Answer 6

As the asker thinks his question is good , the one who answer will also think his answer as a good one .
So we can't give any rating as good or bad . The thing that really matters is whether the answer provide what the asker wants to know or not .

Answer 7

Yes. It is quite probable that the most important part of gaining knowledge is not the nature of the answer but the nature of the question.

Think of an answer as a destination and the question as the journey to the destination. It is always the journey that provides the insight.

Answer 8

No, Some people are stupid or bored, and they are the only ones that answer, or they don't answer at all. That's why most of the time people put there questions to vote, then choose No Best Answer

Answer 9

I think it depends on the level of ignorance ( hence a question) present in both the question and the potential responders.

Answer 10

No. They are two separate things not necessarily related to one another. A question, in this forum, will elicit a response, but not necessarily an answer.
