The problem has been editted to require the condition for all x, not some, so the answer does apply.

Point out that the OP clarified the question in a way that makes the answer irrelevant.

| Feb 1, 2017 at 21:20 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | I understand that sometimes an urge to answer is almost irresistable; sometimes in the past I have commented that a question would belong better to Math.SE but also hint at an answer. But, I would avoid posting an answer and saying a question is off-topic or voting to close, because they really do pull in opposite directions. For people who answer who also help to get a question closed, nobody else can answer, but they got to answer (and net reputation points, etc.) -- that for example doesn't seem right. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 20:08 | comment | added | Dave Witte Morris | @ToddTrimble I apologize for the error, but how should I have responded? In my mind, the answer to the stated question was easy, so the problem was not research level, but someone said they did not know the answer. I thought I was not supposed to answer a question in the comments, but is there an exception when I think the question does not belong on the site? And I did not realize that saying a question is not research level is being "mean", but I suppose I could have prefaced it with "In my opinion". | |

I deleted the first sentence, which apparently is considered to be inappropriate.

| Jan 31, 2017 at 19:49 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | Come on, the OP was slightly confused, but the question is interesting, and in her case completely open. No need to be mean. | |
