Stack Overflow's role in the programming profession is not an The X-Files repository of obscure problems that no one can find the answers to. Rather, it is a repository of rated information that is often readily accessible externally.

Product "Reviews/ratings" are what have driven the success of companies like Amazon, and are generally what drives online consumer decisions in the 21st century. Stack Overflow is really just "rated" information for programming (which is especially useful since there are often multiple ways of solving any given problem in programming).

I don't see the problem with this unless the expectation is otherwise.
