Good Answer

We have heard a good questions, I don't know how to describe what is a

`good question`, I only know that it is a good question when it been

asked. Maybe good question is the question that asking for the answer

that nobody ever think of, or for a answer that not easily be answered.

But what about `good answer`?. What good answer should be?

For me, the good answer should, at least, answer the question. (It is an

answer, right?) When I only hear the answer, I should be able to guess

the question (or topic). If I can't guess the question, then it not even

an answer, it just the answer(er) dodge the question.

When a person can't (or don't want to) answer the question, they should

just tell "I can't answer that" (or "I don't know"), but I guess it look

bad on the public so they dodge the question instead. The "I can't

answer that" is totally fine when the question is too personal, however,

I won't accept that if it is about public problem (or situation),

especially when the answerer is the one who in charge of the problem

themself.

If you can't answer, maybe just say it out loud, please don't try to put

unrelated word/topics together like a LLM. I know, sometimes it is hard

to say that, I'm trying to say it more.

PS: What count as Good or Bad is very deep philosophical topic, please

don't think too much what does I mean when you see the word 'Good' or

'Bad'.
