That question got a downvote? I wonder why. It's a genuine question. Why can't good faith be assumed?

Edit: I get that people downvote this comment since it's always controversial to ask.

I personally always ask when I am more curious about the answer and am willing to burn any potential karma over it.

Asking for feedback is more important.

I'm just genuinely surprised about the other one.

I appreciated your question. I don't really know the answer, and I grew up in the USA. Maybe someone took it as a rhetorical question?
