It seems like Ozzie is answering on a more abstract level than the question was asked. There’s a difference between “How valuable will it be to answer question X?” (what Ozzie said) and “How outsourceable is question X?” (what Lawrence’s question was related to).
I think that outsourceability would be a sub-property of Tractability.
In more detail, some properties I imagine to affect outsourceability, are whether the question:
1) Requires in-depth domain knowledge/experience
2) Requires substantial back-and-forth between question asker and question answerer to get the intention right
3) Relies on hard-to-communicate intuitions
4) Cannot easily be converted into a quantitative distribution
5) Has independent subcomponents which can be answered separately and don’t rely on each other to be answered (related to Lawrence point about tractability)
