For example questions about code review processes are off-topic on Code Review. Questions about publishing computer science papers are off-topic on Computer Science (we refer users to Academia instead) — though I think research methodology would be on-topic on Computer Science (I don't remember it coming up however), which shows that it's a thin line. | |

| Feb 27, 2014 at 16:36 | comment | added | jcolebrand | "doesn't want to do" is highly subjective. The "ethical" question I've posited within the question would indicate that the average user being instructed is actually merely unaware, not opposed. But that's a good angle that should be determined. | |
