The question is relevant to many people working with SQL Server. If that does not apply to you then you can ignore the question.

There is no relevance in the topographical nature of a planet or species categorisation to SQL Server (domain specific knowledge excluded - anyone working at NASA, ESA or others please respond!!!). The question is relevant to the geospatial features of SQL Server.

I agree that the area is a little esoteric, the question phrased in a way that it appears irrelevant and I would argue with the answer. All said though the area of knowledge is relevant.

^{I have yet to see a question on the folicals of simians - as a code monkey with a developing bald patch this would be more relevant to me than the examples of irrelevance you have supplied 😉}
