Absolutely. If there is anything I've learned about "the Internet" it is that if you ask a difficult question you will get very little in the way of answers you can trust a priori. However, if you make a false claim, then people will come out of the woodwork to tell you that "You are a doofus and here is why." Ergo, the way to ask a question is to make a false claim the summed corrections to which contain the answer to the question you wanted to ask.
