Before launching the site, we had [a discussion on Codidact Meta](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/74823#answer-74907) about naming the category we currently called "Researched Q&A". Other possibilities we explored included


 * "Hard science", our starting point based on [the hard-science tag from Worldbuilding Stack Exchange](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/hard-science)
 * "Referenced Q&A"
 * "Rigorous Q&A"
 * "Research-level Q&A"

Now that the site's up, I wanted to restart the discussion. I think I dislike "Researched Q&A" on the grounds that it implies that the regular questions don't require well-researched answers. "Research-level Q&A" seems like it could come off as a little elitist. At the moment, I'd vote for "Rigorous Q&A", since that certainly describes what we're looking for in both questions and answers. What do people think - should we rename the category, or keep it as-is?
