I'll weigh in as I was the one that started this train.
The question, title and body, boil down to: what is this knot? It also has the image. The question does absolutely nothing to tie (pun may or may knot intended) this piece of trivia to the plot of the movie, or any character development, or honestly even a cultural understanding of what they're doing. The question doesn't seek to deepen any appreciation for the movie, but rather seeks trivial, surface level information.
And AJ's answer on the question is a perfect indicator of this. It answers the question exactly, telling us what that knot it. However, his answer adds ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF VALUE to the movie itself (I know that sounds harsh).
The reason that we, the community, have wanted to steer away from these sort of questions has always been (at least imho) 1. they're boring and 2. clog up the system from actual, deep questions and answers.
Now, with the positive score of the question, even if it remains closed it will not be auto-deleted from the site. If it stays closed, that just shows that, at one point we appreciated the question, but we've since moved on. The question does, currently, have 4 reopen votes, which I personally disagree with, but ti could be reopened.
