> Skipping unanswerable questions would be good for everyone. Any answer would be misleading.

I disagree with this. The purpose of the website is to provide answers. If you let people skip questions, you can't guarantee that any given question will ever be answered.

The whole concept here is that you aren't asking people who hold particular credentials. You, Nevermark, should provide your take, regardless of whether you feel it's valid.

However, I'm uncomfortable with the fact that the two answer options are both specified by the user. They should be limited to "yes" or "no", with the meaning of that supplied by the question.

But you can’t provide your take if it isn’t an option.

You can click a choice you don’t agree with, or the other choice you don’t agree with. Neither choice is a service to anyone.

That is the problem of the current site in a nutshell.
