If one suspects there is a better answer to 'the question behind the question':

  1. answer the actual question that was asked, then

  2. ask the question behind the question and answer that too.

Infuriating when people only do the latter. Particularly when I come by a question that is my EXACT problem, and none of the answers even attempt to answer the question that was asked.
