Online question-answering services are unreliable
In my experience,[1][2][3][4][5] online question-answering services like Stack Exchange and LessWrong's questions feature work around half of the time.
Some services like Quora are even less reliable; I would say Quora probably gives good answers to less than 1% of questions I've asked.
