IMO the proper thing to do is to answer the question and make damn sure the poster isn't falling for the XY Problem.

Sometimes the weird solution is justified by a weird context, and we gotta treat people like adults. But also, you're probably asking the wrong question.

Like, I can tell you how to disconnect your bike's brake lines, but if you're asking how to do that with no context I would most definitely like to know what problem you think you're solving.
