I publish posts like this one to clarify my doubts about alignment. I don’t pay attention to whether I’m beating a dead horse or if there’s previous literature about my questions or ideas. Do you think this is an OK practice? One pro is that people like me learn faster, and one con is that it may pollute the site with lower-quality posts.
As a single data point, I replied to the post and didn’t drive by downvote.
I think clearing up honest confusions is a valuable service. LW should be noob friendly I think. The karma mechanisms already serve to filter out low quality content from most members feeds.
