What are questions supposed to accomplish on Fluther?

This question by a clearly agitated Fluther veteran got me thinking.
Are questions on Fluther supposed to be only of a sort of technical nature? Things like “How much RAM do I need to run Photoshop?” or something like that?
Are the discussion type of questions, funny or not, regarded as sort of “low rent” by the Fluther establishment?
I am still learning the culture of Fluther.
I figured it was sort of like the discussions that occur frequently around the table during and after a dinner party or a cookout.
But, maybe I got it wrong.
But it seems to me that if I really needed to know something, there are sources that would be more reliable than Fluther. So isn’t part of the fun just simply making it fun?
Or not?
