| Nov 20, 2014 at 15:17 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | An interesting debate stems from this: if "idea generation" questions are undesirable, what other kind of questions are there? I'm comfortable dividing questions into two categories: those that want to generate new ideas, and those that have ideas that need critiquing. However, it is mightily hard to critique an idea in a Q&A format unless it is in the form "is X scientifically valid." This suggests to me that there should be some hazy regions that are not clearly idea generation and not clearly a question. Hopefully we can avoid overzelously closing those. | |

| Nov 11, 2014 at 5:56 | comment | added | Shokhet | I've answered my own question, partly to help explain the problem to other people, partly to have a Meta post to link to in the future, and partly so that people can add to my list! If you think you can explain all of it, you're welcome to suggest a new answer; if you just want to add a point or two, then please just comment on the answer or, better yet, edit it! | |
