Then that "Holier than thou" option would allow monks to shirk their duties as a knowledgeable programer. Taking on a pass the buck attitude is not what PM is about. If you don't want to answer, then don't. That's why the option is there. If monks constantly take the stance of "Passing the buck", who will educate the new? If this is implemented, PM will certainly become something like Slashdot. Filled with experience whores instead of karma whores. A small clique of in crowd and a major group of out crowd. I would downvote an individual for giving a wrong answer (like I have been downvoted for, and was deserving of it). However if I see that an individual has admitted that he was wrong by the time I read his/her post I would either abstain from voting or ++ him for freely admitting his/her error.

They say that knowlege is power. It is. But giving it is twice as much power.
