Yup. That was normative advice, not a descriptive statement. In actual fact you should post whatever strikes your fancy and upvotes/downvotes will give you descriptive feedback. I often upvote things myself that are off topic by my standards if I actually learn something.

practically speaking, I think the votes decide, but from a standpoint of policing the boundaries this is what I'd encourage.
