I'm not talking about dumb answers but misinformation.

What exactly do you think is the difference between a "dumb answer" and "misinformation"? Please indulge me.

Subjectively bad Vs. Misleading seems to be what they're getting at, even if they explained it absolutely horridly. I think the difference between the two is, at least partly, intent. Someone can not know they are lying or providing a bad answer, because it very well may be the case that they do not know the truth to begin with. A dumb answer may come from an uninformed person or someone with an opinion seen as fringe and in that respect misleading to what the average may conclude; that being said, dumb answers may be given by someone who has been misinformed, so in that respect I would say there is no difference. This may be a significant minority, but there are different words for a reason and to act like no distinction should be made is in my opinion, misinformation. Wink

"dumb answer" [Coinbase is the best wallet] off-topic, Spam and all wrong.
"misinformation" [Blockchain.info is the best wallet] Uncertainty and Part of the information is wrong.

Although, I will agree that their answer certainly was in that category, of significant minority in which the answer is dumb and misinformation. I too, do not see the distinction between these two answers; I just wanted to throw my two-cents in and try to explain how I see the two distinguish themselves.

That being said though, we have no way of determining one's intent and therefore it would be impossible to adequately enforce Technical Trust or Lauda's Section Ban, given the simplified criteria laid out here, at least. I don't think people should be banned from a particular section for being uninformed, but if they can be proven to be maliciously and intentionally misleading then I maybe can get behind your idea. I agree though, the problem stems elsewhere and we can take care of this at the root without adding another complex layer. Section bans may be the answer, but not simply for dumb answers.

Too many discussions are also opinion based, so then adding TT would only serve to make their opinion king.
