In another question I asked about [Are the hurried downvoters improving this community?](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/275709)
I received many comments, one of them was

Excuse me if I am not familiar with the system of SE, I can understand voting the answers makes good ones rise to the top and bad ones forced to the bottom, but I can't understand this mechanism on questions?!

My point in the other question was about hurried votes on the questions and not on the answers and suggested its better to find a more balanced way for it and counted the harms of that trend to the community .... (I can't explain it here but you can find it there)

I usually don't pay much attention to the votes of a question but the answer. I never sorted them on their votes, I usually have a problem, google it and if I find it in this site regardless of the number of up-votes of the question if it meets my problem, I click it.then it decrease the importance of votes for the questions as the above comment suggests. Moreover duplicated questions are closed and there is not a race for similar questions.

Most people are redirected from search engines to the site to find an answer for their questions, then their questions for them is important than any other question. few people check other questions and use this site for study or learning purpose.

Really what is the aim of that mechanism for the questions and its importance?
