[DEV question] Why cant we change Alpha application answers?

[Shougun]

Your web browser is not going to have any important OS level and hardware level details. That's why they have to ask on the applications.

I meant unless I forgot they use a web app to check all the computer data. You can intercept that data if you really wanted and knew how. But most wont, and even if you intercepted the data you wont know if you changed it to something SE wanted or not.

Answer: Because if you later decide that different answers would have been more favorable, it's not fair to other people who answered the questions honestly?

But which is more favorable? You dont know - changing your app doesnt make it known if you have a better chance or not.
