At some point in the past, Roedy explained that his vision is not the best, and so he doesn't always completely read the problems, but spots some buzzwords and just for the chance that it may be a hit, posts a link for that buzzword. Quite often it is a good hit, because quite often it's the same questions asked again and again by newbies. I'd wager the benefit of a link that happens to hit the nail on the head much higher, than the "cost" of a miss.
