It is simple.  The topic here is C, as defined in the C standard. 
While some users may be experts in other areas, there is no such
guarantee.  Thus erroneous answers to non-topical questions may
never be corrected.  This is easily avoided by simply placing the
question on a newsgroup where it actually is topical.

This doesn't mean that an off-topic answer is necessarily wrong, as
to fact.  However it is wrong as to content, because it encourages
off-topic postings.
