There's a certain minimum amount of effort we require new users to make to understand the community; those who insist on asking bikeshed questions don't make that effort, don't care about the community, and are indifferent to the wording of the close reasons. They only care about their own agenda, whatever that is. In short, they're selfish. | |

I think your definition shows why it's so confusing. Closing questions that help a user improve themselves or their situation as not-constructive just because it doesn't meet the SE guidelines for good questions is very confusing.
