Same as the difference between apple and Apple!

Listen to a good friendly advice: never ask questions in the form "what's the difference between {0} and {1}?". It will greatly help you to get answers.

Whilst your advice does apply to many, if not most, of this class of questions here on CP, I still must stress the fact that there are a whole lot of legitimate questions that follow the same pattern you so unjustly cast into the role of an anti-pattern.
I had to add this information lest somebody be kept form asking such a legitimate question. Our role as members with quite some authority (some higher than the other :) ) should not lead us to such generalizations. A warning or caveat may be a better option than outright ruling such a class of questions out completely.
I hope you agree with me, at least to some degree.

I agree with you, to some degree. I up-voted your answer, because it makes sense and is useful/informative.

Still, as a practical advice on how to formulate questions, I think my advice is quite useful. Do you agree?

I thought I had already expressed in my comment to your solution that most of the time it does apply, but generalization on such a matter should not be expressed so severly by a member of your authority as the impact can not be foreseen.

As to up-voting my answer: I'm not quite sure what you are on about as I have only commented, but have not provided a solution ("answer" in the old terminology) to the current question.

"...impact can not be foreseen" -- don't dramatize simple things. Most people are adults here. And the advice is more than practical. Can you imagine just one situation where following my advice can damage? This is impossible in principle. But not following it is already damaging. Also, I never claimed that this form of question is ***always*** incorrect. Please don't try to read between line -- today you're not very successful in that. "Never ask..." advice does not mean I would consider this as a mistake if this rule was not applied. Be logical to see that there is no contradiction here.

Up-voting... I only say I agree with you, that's why I up-voted ***your*** answer. That's all what I mean. I hope you did not think that this statement was suggestive of anything else.

Finally, as to providing a solution. I don't think I'm on a mission to provide a solution in all cases. In many cases ***not*** providing a solution is much more helpful. To me, just help, truth and common good is important here, not formal fact of providing a solution or not. Something tells me that your attitude is pretty much the same as mine... Am I right?

Deep respect, best wishes.

So what by your conjecture does "never ask" convey as its true meaning? Your sermon above has contributed more to my confusion than the omission of an explanation or rather a much needed refinement of your answer has given rise to.

Please excuse my obstinate manner in this intercommunion, but these are my views and I thought it needfull to express them. I also respect you, but in this case I thought some differentiation was nescessary.

I did not really understand you first sentence (question). I'll gladly answer if you clarify it. Anyway, I still think "never ask" (in this form) is a good advice, simply because "what's the difference" cannot be attributed a certain sense, because the notion of the "difference" is not defined.

Consider the mathematical space with two points. What's the difference between the point P1, and P2? One would answer: for example, there is a distance of 1 between then. But this is only possible when the space is metric. In this analogy, in all the questions about difference (including the one on this page), not only it's not clear on what aspect of difference an answer should focus, but also there is not metrics.

The only really valid question would be saying: it's gibberish. It's also amazing how people miss the whole possibility of having statements which are not true or false but makes no sense. Such questions are like about the color of the right angle in Pythagorean theorem...
