| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:39 | comment | added | sempaiscuba Mod | @ds_practicioner With all due respect, this is a community moderated site Moderators do not generally overrule community decisions. Yes, I can see who made the edit. The edit is a problem because it invalidates an existing answer. That is probably also the reason your question has now attracted a vote to delete. | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:36 | comment | added | ds_practicioner | Uh, if you look, that wasn't my edit. Even if it was, why is that a problem since you complained the question was too basic. | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:35 | comment | added | ds_practicioner | We agree to disagree I guess. However, can you honestly say that's the best answer there is? You won't even give me a chance to improve upon it. With all due respect are you THAT stodgy and inflexible? | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:33 | comment | added | sempaiscuba Mod | IMO, you currently have what is probably the best answer you might expect to the original version of your question. The fact that you have edited the question into something different, that invalidates the existing answer, is the problem. | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:29 | comment | added | sempaiscuba Mod | To your first question: Yes, that is a sufficient answer to the question as asked. When doctrine meets the constraints of reality you either have to forgo the opportunity to attack (which might be lost forever), or you go with what you have. To your second question, also yes, as explained in the section on edits that invalidate existing answers above. | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:29 | comment | added | ds_practicioner | From your site tour: "Use comments to ask for more information or clarify a question or answer." Didn't happen | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:28 | comment | added | ds_practicioner | From your site tour "Our goal is to have the best answers to every question," so I fail to see what the problem is. | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:24 | comment | added | ds_practicioner | Is it that hard to just open the damn question up for a better answer? | |
| Aug 29, 2020 at 17:22 | comment | added | ds_practicioner | thanks for your answer and the link, but I would like to point out that nowhere in that article does it address or otherwise answer the original question. Nor does the answer provided here do so either. The question, originally stated was "Seems like Japanese doctrine favored massed attacks so why did they instead go for the option more likely to fail?" Do you honestly believe "D3A dive bombers were ready to go, the B5Ns, used in the morning strike on Midway Island, had to be serviced and re-armed with torpedoes, and all that that entails." is a suitable answer? | |
