- You forget where FAQs come from.
-
- We get FAQs because someone decided to write one. That's about it.
-
- I could write a FAQ which says the opposite of some other FAQ, and post it,
- and my FAQ would be just as "official" as the other one.
-
- Pointing to FAQs is sometimes a good way to settle questions of fact, but a
- _bad_ way to settle controversial questions.
