Much like the old internet adage: if you want to know the answer to something, confidently state the wrong answer, and inevitably someone who knows the correct answer will chime in to correct you.

You used to be able to get people to quickly give you an exact no bullshit straight to the point answer in Linux support forums by making a post along the lines of "Linux sucks because x never works. Windows is obviously superior because it's possible to make x work". Someone would then refute all your points and post how to fix your problem.
