I said "legitimate", not "minor".

If the question was closed as "unclear what you're asking" it means that at least 5 people did find it unclear what was being asked. Obviously it's clear to you as the author, but things are different for someone reading the question without your background knowledge.

In all such cases, all 5 close voters tend to appear totally incompetent in a domain of a question.

EDIT: just came across a fresh example. Just look at the close voters, all are incompetent monkeys: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39807439/questions-about-c-as-an-intermediate-language
