Questions asking for an answer to a controversy

In this question:

Is Jhana Required For Awakening?

the asker specifically states that they know it is a controversial topic (an understatement in this instance!). I assume we're going to get many such questions for the various traditions. I'm pretty sure we don't want to hash out controversies on this site; see the first answer to the above question for an example of an argument from one side - I could easily post an answer from the other side that would attempt to refute this answer.

What should our policy be on this sort of question? What if the asker doesn't realize how controversial the question is? I assume questions like this one:

Why are Jhanas controversial?

are less problematic; should we allow the controversial questions or advise that they be changed to those, like this second one, that ask for an outline of the controversy?
