I don't get why I am allowed to post an answer to my question in the question's editor:

enter image description here

I know from Stack Overflow that this feature exists on Stack Exchange websites.

It seems relevant for Stack Overflow, indeed someone may have the answer to a question that hasn't been already been answered on the site.

However, I don't believe it makes sense to have this feature on Code Review. Am I not supposed to seek someone else's point of youview, advice and expertise to determine how to improve my code? I can't just come up with a question on a code snippet and improve it myself. That doesn't make sense to me.

The link shown next to the checkbox: "share your knowledge, Q&A-style" points to an article by Jeff Atwood on the StackOverflow blog...

Does this feature really belong on Code Review? I mean are there any questions that have immediately been answered by the person who asked it?


Just to make sure: I'm not against the possibility of answering your own question. Sure a user could do that. I am specifically referring to the possibility of answering your question when editing the question itself.
