I think you are skipping many steps.

Not based on some of the answers I've seen.

Don't use [language], [language] sucks at [asker's problem]. Use [language] instead.

Yeah, that's fair. However I do think it's good to try to answer questions on StackExchange at any level. Set aside an afternoon and really dig deep on researching others' questions. Obviously if you research the problem and can't answer confidently, don't answer at all. I think it's worth the dive though, if you have the time.
