Can I ask a question to which I have a possible answer?
For many years I have been working on unraveling the basic ideas behind famous circuit solutions. Thus I gradually managed to accumulate a collection of circuit principles and clever tricks. I have my intuitive explanations of circuit phenomena that significantly differ from classic formal explanations. I can not be completely sure if my explanations are true since I cannot find similar ones. Nevertheless, I use them when answering questions but I have to passively wait for the appropriate questions to be asked. That is why, I started asking questions.

They are not true questions since I have a possible answer to them. So I have to decide what to do. I have two possibilities:

1. I can share my answer at the beginning. The advantages of this are that I clarify the problem at the beginning. The disadvantages, however, are that I hinder more original answers and predetermine the direction of reasoning.

2. I can wait first for others to answer and then to share my answer. But now the problem is that they find it difficult to get to the heart of the matter.

I have tried both options but the result is the same - many negative reactions. The [last example](https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/278546) is quite recent.

What do I do?
