Easy solution:
1: Make a post asking your question.
2: Switch to a different alt account and make a reply giving an obviously wrong solution to your question.
Your sock-puppet reply will attract all the negativity, and the answers painstakingly pointing out why it’s wrong will give you the correct answer.
You don’t need a sok puppet–just ask if a really boneheaded solution would work or give a comically bad diagnosis of the problem.
People’s need to be right is greater than their need to help anyone. The hope is that they’re helpful along the way to being right.
Sort of similar is people that make posts on social media, some purposefully make a wrong comment in the title to foster engagement, and it works, people will come on to correct the OP and it will get bumped up on the algorithm.
