But it may solve his problem, which is the whole point.

Often in discussions, an OP may ask the wrong question that does not 
solve their problem or is a roundabout way to solve their problem (and 
it may not necessarily be their fault that they asked the wrong 
question). Which is why it is often best to describe the actual problem 
in addition to asking a specific question.
