Annoying, isn't it?
I've said it before: it shouldn't be possible to close a question as "unanswerable" if it has a solution.

Implement that and the usual suspects will just start posting an "answer" reiterating how Urgentz they need someone to Gimmie Teh Codz to keep their drek alive. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Maybe a few will, but we can tell them off or "abuse" vote them if they persist.
That's a lot less irritating than spending half an hour writing, testing and posting a solution to find the question is closed. Or worse, posting that solution, getting a comment from the user which needs clarification and finding the question has been closed in the meantime so you have no way to contact the OP.
Some people seem to vote "not a question" if it uses the wrong words, or they don't understand it, maybe for the rep points you get (I don't know if you get rep points for "not a question" votes, but hey ho) rather than trying to understand what the OP is trying to ask.
If someone understands it enough to post an answer, then pretty much by definition it is a question!

I must say that the conundrum of "open" or "closed" state of unanswerable questions ... brings to mind that half-you-don't-know-what cat-in-the-box.

Actually, here is a good example where it should be allowed: Where is the problem? Array?[^]
Your solution is good but no one is sure if it answers the question or not. And the question deserves to be closed as incomplete.
But I can see both sides of this debate.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hi Pete,
Well I would, I am sure, have learned something from your response !
Just after I wrote that post, I decided to review the Lazy<T >documentation, and some relevant sources; I concluded that the question I posed was unnecessary: it's the nature of Lazy<T>'s to require instantiation with 'new, as with other 'objects ... with the exception of using the static System.Threading.LazyInitializer class to auto-mutate non-Lazy<T> objects into Lazy ones.
So, I removed the question.
But, now, after suturing and dressing the deep wound in my heart from your referring to me as "the master enunciator. The bringer forth of the maelstrom of confabulation and parley"  ... I think I will re-post the question, asking in a more general way about the parameters for "best practice" in deferring instantiation.
And, I hope I will see your reply !
lazily, Bill
p.s. Poe's "The Maelstrom" was one of my favorite childhood stories.

I shall take a look at your new question and comment if comment is needed. You should rejoice at the appellation I apply to you as it reflects the esteem I have for your elucidation.

New question posted ...
and, I really appreciate your clarification even as I probe its every nook and cranny for double-entendre Quote: The bringer forth of the maelstrom of confabulation and parley
This delightful phrase connects, for me, with Pandemonium, the capital of Hell in Milton's "Paradise Lost." Also with "fake-news."
cheers, Bill

But for those who look to catch up with cloud terminologies.
been comparing storage prices on cloud, wondering what the heck would be these 'temperature' based schemes.
Object storage -
Got a file that you need to put in the cloud? Object storage is the service for you. Again, the cloud providers have different types of storage, classified by how often the customer expects to access it.
“Hot” storage is data that needs to be almost instantaneously accessible.
“Cool” storage is accessed more infrequently,
& "Cold" storage is archival material that is rarely accessed. The colder the storage, the less expensive it is.

I remember when they called it Online, Nearline and Offline.
And it meant, SCSI, SATA, backup robot. I suspect it's a similar setup today.

Yup they go round trying to give proper names & finally settle for one good dumb set of names.
