| Jan 15, 2016 at 11:17 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @chirlu I have myself sometimes used them as a substitute for tables. (Which Stack Exchange really should just support directly!) But even so, I don't think it's a prohibitive use case. | |

| Jan 15, 2016 at 4:29 | comment | added | user307833 | It's clear, but not reliable at all. Though code blocks may mainly be used for code on SO and a few SE network sites (Code Review, Code Golf, Programmers, ...), there are many sites that have absolutely nothing to do with code (SFF, RPG, Arqade, ...). On those sites, under your proposal, anything in code blocks would be treated as code, even though it is almost surely not code. It's a flawed definition. | |
| Jan 15, 2016 at 4:25 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Mego Sure, but again I don't think it's a big problem. The definition needs to be clear and reasonably reliable. | |

Applying a blanket definition of "code" to anything in code blocks will end up with a lot of false positives as well.
