Just look at all the people getting frustrated at being told “you should probably do it a different way.” They really don’t understand that just because they’re asking the question, it’s not all about them.

I don't agree. I remember having a problem (something with PDF and JS if I remember correctly) and I had some restrictions (no I could not do anything about those restrictions). Someone on SO had asked my question with somewhat the same restrictions, which boiled downed to no being able to utilize the most common solution. The first answer on SO was to use the solution that specifically could not be used.

I can see your point and I actually somewhat agree but when the answers are "do X" to the question "how do I do this when I cannot do X?", the audience should be the minority going there because they have a niece problem, not the majority that are lead there by search engines. And all the "do X" answers should be removed, or moved somewhere they are relevant.
