When is an answer general or specific?
SE is a question and answer site; people accustomed to forums often have a harder time understanding the different approach here. Don't worry, it's a very common occurrence.

Is reframing allowed on Parenting.SE?
The term that was used was "arguing with the premise of the question", I believe; see this question/answer.

Should I give a second answer if a substantial elaboration is added to the question?
