This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

This one sticks out to me because the question is too vague. If it said, "All forms of cancer will be cured," which is logically equivalent to the one given, then the only answer for anybody who knew anything about the subject is "no."
So, it seems that either people misunderstood the question, or don't know enough about cancer to realize that it's really a collection of terrible diseases that, at our current level of understanding, seem to need different treatments.
Until I went into the cancer treatment industry, I mostly thought cancer was just a single process with a single cause (except for maybe leukemia but I also don't know that I knew that was a cancer in 1998) that just happened to different parts of the body.
