| Oct 4, 2023 at 16:09 | comment | added | Iosif Pinelis | @JochenWengenroth : I agree with you that "shar[ing] [one's] knowledge in a question-and-answer style" is not very common on MO. However, isn't sharing knowledge in whatever appropriate way a worthy goal? Oftentimes I do modify my answers, to address users' comments or correct my own errors or misunderstandings. However, in this case, for reasons listed in my previous comment (and also because of the length of the latter answers), "shar[ing] [...] knowledge in a question-and-answer style" seemed much more appropriate. | |
| Oct 4, 2023 at 15:47 | comment | added | Jochen Wengenroth | I completely agree with (iv). I have just read the "share your knowledge" details -- and I was indeed quite surprised because this is quite unusual for MO. Honestly, I am not completely convinced that this is a case where it is better to post a new question than to modify the answer, but I have no strong objections. I was just surprised. | |
| Oct 4, 2023 at 13:50 | comment | added | Iosif Pinelis | @JochenWengenroth : (i) The answer to the original conjecture was complete and thus needed no additions. (ii) The refinements presented on the current page were not in my possession at the time of the previous answer. (iii) These refinements involve different ideas. (iv) We should not encourage the OP's moving the goalposts. (v) Every time when one posts a question, the system itself automatically and immediately "invites" the poster to do something like "share your knowledge, in a question-and-answer style". I too can see nothing bad in doing so. Are you satisfied with this response? | |

| Oct 4, 2023 at 13:03 | comment | added | Jochen Wengenroth | Why didn't you include these refined examples in your answer to the original post? Posting questions with an immediate answer is, to say the least, not the usual thing in MO. | |
