A QUESTION FROM OTHERWISE · VOLUME I + II
Who gets to decide when a question is closed?
Closure is not merely an intellectual event. Someone bears the cost of waiting; someone benefits from deciding; someone may never have been invited into the room where enough evidence was declared enough.
Before closing a disputed question, identify who gains from closure, who pays for delay, and who has standing to reopen it.
