> I don't have time to even follow well thought academic ideas. Why should I be bothered trying to develop ideas of other people who don't put forward even a little bit of effort? You shouldn't and I'm not saying you should. I'm suggesting everyone is taking this more seriously than it needs to be. "Might be a novel idea, here's some things to consider, needs work," is appropriate. But this idea is clearly stuck in rough draft hell and needs some serious fleshing out before everyone pulls out their magnifying glasses. Going balls-to-the-wall with scrutiny and criticism before it's warranted does nothing constructive and only discourages people from tinkering. Bad for the community, etc.
