Questions about software or libraries should be appropriately tagged.
Questions about the math/physics involved in a calculation should be answered as points of clarification.

For example: "What approximations are being made when I do a CASSCF calculation in Gaussian 03?", is a question that clarifies the technique but does not address the approximation(s).
Questions about the validity of an approximation should be a community based judgment call.

3a. They should be voted on by the community through comments and comment up-votes:

Is it essential that these questions are answered here? 

Are there two questions here, one about Computational Science and one about math/physics, and should thethey be split?

3b. If it is voted that itthe question is more math/physics based, then the question should be migrated to the corresponding SE site by a moderator. 

3b. If it is voted that itthe question is more math/physics based, the community should suggest, through comments, how the questions might be improved to fit with in the purview of this site.

Questions about compilation errors, runtime errors, compilation flags... should be migrated to a mailing list or reworded and migrated to stackoverflow.
