There is a particularly dumb question that has caused more fights in Dungeons & Dragons fandom than any other. I do have an answer to the question but it’s probably not the answer most querents expect.

Nothing against the main point of the article, but I think there’s a misinterpretation of the question happening.
When people argue about which edition is “best,” I generally interpret that as a subjective argument, where the article seems to think people are arguing about an objective “best” (which they rightly acknowledge is a flawed idea).
If we interpret the question as subjective, it’s not a dumb question–it’s just a question of preferences. Though perhaps it needs a qualifier to make it productive (i.e. “what edition is best for me?”).
