Example of [Bad question
@ockeghem: I didn't know it had a name. The XY problem is a communication problem that occurs when "the questioner does not directly ask about the issue X that he/she really wants to solve, but asks about how to solve a secondary issue Y" / "XY problem - Wikipedia".

Questions Not To Ask How can I use X to do Y?
A: If what you want is to do Y, you should ask that question without pre-supposing the use of a method that may not be appropriate. Questions of this form often indicate a person who is not merely ignorant about X, but confused about what problem Y they are solving and too fixated on the details of their particular situation. It is generally best to ignore such people until they define their problem better. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
