+1. In general, if an expert has already put in the time to write such a detailed comment, I strongly encourage them to turn it into a top-level post. If it sounds daunting to edit a comment to the ostensibly higher standards of a top-level post, then don’t; just add a brief disclaimer at the top à la “off-the-cuff comment turned into top-level post” or something and link to this original comment thread. And maybe add more section headings or subheadings so the post is easier to navigate and parse.
