When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

sorry, meant to say DETECTOR DE TERMóMETRO DE RESISTENCIA.

: Resistance thermometer=RTD=Resistance temperature detector (NOT resistance thermometer detector - does that detect "resistance thermometers"?), why always slightly (and in this case incorrectly) change previous answers instead of just agreeing with them?

I found a different term and I exercised my right to submit it. As I see it, it's not about being right or wrong but about collaborating and the asker can pick and choose whatever answer will fit often surprising us. See my source before you respond.

Discussion
(Believe me I've posted plenty of rushed answers in the past (with a low confidence level), when I realise I'm wrong I admit it and often hide them to avoid that the asker may use them erroneously.)
Regards,
Have a look at your answer.....in my humble opinion it is wrong and if you post it as an answer in Kudoz then I'm afraid everyone is qualified to be the judge (I won't be waiting for you on judgement day, don't worry) - that's "brainstorming between serious professional colleagues from the four corners of the planet inching to get the right answer". Not just simply believing the first thing they read.
I "agree" with a lot more answers than I disagree - do you agree with answers or just re-answer with your own slight variation? ..... but if an answer if blatantly wrong in my humble opinion (and in this case the humble opinion of basically everyone who speaks English and has cause to use RTDs - even your reference proves you wrong) then I feel obliged to 'disagree' for the sake of the asker. Would you prefer that I agreed with an answer I know to be wrong?
I did look at your source before writing my comment - it actually proves that your suggestion would not suit this case (or any other case).
It states "•Resistance thermometer, also called resistance temperature detector" i.e. NOT resistance THERMOMETER detector.
By providing a misleading answer, there are only 7 examples of "resistance thermometer detector" and also only 7 of "DETECTOR DE TERMóMETRO DE RESISTENCIA" on the internet, how are you collaborating? It just looks like an attempt at fishing for points rather than helping the asker.
Maybe it's not about being right or wrong but providing the correct term (as per the usage by the native masses) rather than a loose similarity to the correct term that is not actually used by anyone worldwide in any industry.
Check your own reference and I think you will see that you've mis-read "resistance temperature detector" for "resistance thermometer detector" (it simply doesn't exist, nor does "DETECTOR DE TERMóMETRO DE RESISTENCIA").
