I see the topic about fitting a plug socket in the loft was locked very quickly.
Presumably because it was going absolutely nowhere, because the op didn't seem to have any initial thoughts on how to do this, any photographs or drawings, and that the replies from the pros were vague as a result of that.
I don't think the op received adequate advice as how to obtain a feed from a lighting circuit, as it wasn't established how to obtain a permanent feed, since not all lights/ceiling roses will have this available.
The op was also set to join into a cable, which may or may not have been the correct thing to do.
I'm a little surprised by the immediate reaction to supply the socket from a lighting circuit when a socket circuit may have been available.
I would assume it to be logical to feed a socket from a socket circuit if there is one that is easily available, though we all know one can use a lighting circuit for small loads.
I didn't see an explanation as to why the thread was closed, I don't know if any comments were removed, such as the repetitive ones that often occur on such a subject.
But once again I feel an op has been left short changed with some very inconclusive replies that were not expanded on, leaving him confused and generally buggered about.
