We have a rather clear idea about what we call a soft-question, but it seems that the name is not as expressive as we would like it to be, in particular a new user or a person just visiting the site might not understand what we mean by a soft-question. AFAIR, we didn't choose the name, we just inherited it from the practice on MO.
What do you think about replacing it with a more expressive name?
Do you have any suggestions for what would be a better name?
