As readers may or may not know, Roedy often just scans questions for 
keywords and then answers without attempting to understand the question.

As I recall his rationale is that other people, whose own questions 
involve some of the same keywords, may encounter his answer when 
searching the newsgroup archive, and some of them may therefore find the 
answer useful even when the OP might not.

See past postings for prior critique of this approach.
