    I am trying to get better and have learned to write questions that probe a bit without trying to trick someone.

    "without trying to trick someone"

    That says it all.

    If you are going to tell 70% or more of a community that they are wrong, you should never try to trick them.

    Doing this could activate the kind of basic defense mechanisms that are counter productive to learning.
