You are right, my claim that this is moderator specific is misleading. It is a meme of the current active SO community.

My general claim is merely that the closing of these questions is not implacably imposed by the software, but is instead a community choice.

I don't think we disagree on this being a 'religious' issue. I am clearly an SO apostate.

Even if it's not a religious issue, or subject to one mod's whims, it can still be a cultural one. Maybe this just means there's room for a Metafilter-type programming community where subjectivity is a larger component.
