A: Why can't I start a bounty?

You do not have enough reputation to add another bounty. You added a 250 rep bounty on December 5th. For you to add another one, you much double the reputation. You do not have 500 reputation to offer such a bounty.

Yes, zero is a scalar.

A reminder to Stack Exchange participants about the text beginning with "[s]o that people reading this might learn something": While the added text is not strictly necessary and may appear tangential to the question, the answer would not meet Stack Exchange quality standards otherwise. It is your responsibility to ensure your answers represent meaningful contributions. Simple yes/no answers are not acceptable for Stack Exchange. — DragonLord 2 mins ago

Your thoughts on this comment?

@DragonLordtheFiery I wasn't aware it was that strict...

why was the comment needed?

Andy

I don't think it is.

It isn't a yes/no answer, nor are the others

I felt the "So that people reading this might learn something" text to be tangential and unnecessary.

Then again, absent this text, the answer would not meet quality standards.

It would also fail to meet the 30-character minimum length requirement.

Comment removed.

The only comment I would make is, don't patronize users with your 'So that people reading this might learn something'
