This is starting to sound like one of those 80's B-movies: "Attack of the COBOL invaders", "Return of the COBOL plants", "Revenge of the COBOL sponge", ...

You forgot the seminal "FORTRAN vs COBOL"

Why not post this message to the "Site Bugs and Suggestions" Forum ?
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

It seems clear to me.
Your question is about F#.
F# was influenced by OCaml.
Change the O and the C and you'll get COaml.
You're now only two letters away from Cobol.
That may not be enough to recommend Cobol, but let's check out your question.
The error lies in ConvertedX, starts with Co, just like Cobol.
COincidence? I think not!
The missing b and o can be found right there in the double type.
So pasting together what we have we get Coobl, but that's still not Cobol.
Now where do the o and b get twisted?
This happens because Coobl is nothing, but some system may ask if, or assume that, you meant Cobble.
Cobble sounds like Cobol, and we already had the letters.
So now we're left with Cobol.
Duh!
To answer your question: every question has those Cobol recommendations.
Cobol is coming back and they might somehow support or sponsor CodeProject, so CodeProject makes sure these articles are seen.
When you check "Related Questions" just under "Also Read" you'll notice a lot about interfaces and abstract classes, which seem to be closer related to your question

That was a good explanation. But...

That's a hairy bit of code. I'd like to take a punt, but I fear Armageddon should I be right...

How much is that doggy in the window? No? So the balloons aren't metaphors? Hmm! And why do I have a sudden urge for an ice cream?

He's not 99, and his name's not "Nena"

I would've answered but there's no way I can set one next week. Well done!

No, it's the English version.
And both versions use "99" rather than spelling it out.

So does that mean you're offering to do next week's? Otherwise I think we all know what was meant and the sleeping dogs can lie, ist es nicht?
