I don't feel that there's a reason we *necessarily* have to take the view that questions have to be about a specific tradition; there's no reason a question has to have a single 'best answer' - answers are answers, voting dictates how good/bad that answer is, there's no reason we can't have 5 answers all being equally good, is there?

If we were to allow such a thing, answers should indicate which 'tradition' this comes from, except when it shouldn't. That is, maybe someone has a really good answer explaining the differences between all the traditions, which can be good and interesting to know. I don't see the point in forbidding such questions from the get-go, unless there's something I'm missing?[^1]

Don't get me wrong, if there's a reason that all questions should indicate a specific tradition, then listening to that reason is important, of course. But we can decide what is 'too broad' and just because someone can evaluate one answer doesn't mean they have to evaluate them all, I'd have thought?

Also, if someone wants to specify a single tradition, or authority model, then they should absolutely be free to do so.

[^1]: There very well could be something I'm missing here. Also, just because I have a little marker by my username doesn't mean you have to listen to me either, this answer is purely my own opinion.
