#160674 - We don't know that
Responding to: ???'s previous message

His instructor assigned him THIS problem, and not a different one.

Actually, we don't know that.

We don't know whether this part was assigned to him, or whether he chose it himself.
And, if he chose it, whether he had any valid reason(s) for that choice.

If you can't help with what was asked, please remain "silent."

As is so often demonstrated right here, what is asked is very often not the correct question - so answering that question is not always the most helpful thing!

If everyone kept the blinkers on and just stuck religiously to the question as asked, the OP might never even know that alternatives exist!

Again, this is a discussion forum - not just a free answer shop!

On the other hand, of course, just stating that "X is better" with absoulutely no indication at all of the requirements is not good.
