| Jan 20, 2018 at 19:12 | comment | added | Conor O'Brien | I don't have an answer, but barring these types of solutions on the basis of them being not competitive is no different from barring FGITW answers. Both take little time or effort to golf, both are received "well" (by voting), and, in the case of FGITW, they are both often suboptimal. Should we then bar FGITW answers because they are not optimal? Should we also ban people from golfing in Unary, Starry, etc., because they perform worse? I don't think baning these "baseline" answers can be done easily without implications for other areas of this site. | |

I'd like to bring up another potential baseline: On a kolmogorov-complexity challenge, do we allow a print "Text goes here" submission? Because that's the smallest trivial answer.
