They are totally orthogonal. Here's an incredibly simple, but not at all "general reference" question that's excellent because the answer is not evidently stated in any documentation. | |

When the number of trivial questions start to overwhelm the site, the experts will look elsewhere--as in, outside the StackExchange network, and the whole thing will then devolve into Yahoo! Answers. | |
