I do know that First Person Writing is not allowed there.

Though I do think answering a Fridge entry is a no-no, and someone asked a related query.

Asking a question and answering it right after formulating it is a common explanation technique. It is not the same as actually asking a real question.

Going off the "Headscratchers 2.0" comparison that OP made, I've actually seen Fridge Logic subsections state that Headscratchers is the place for those questions, even though they're supposed to be different things (albeit very similar different things - Headscratchers is for discussing Fridge Logic).sidenote

I think instead of TRS what we really need is a discussion to pin-point what Fridge even is. Nobody seems to be clear on what the "rules" are and how it's supposed to work.
