if it were so obvious that a commenter could notice a major flaw in ~30 minutes when I’ve thought about it for hundreds of hours, I would have caught it already!
I don’t think this is a good approach to take.
Consider that “if it were so obvious that an outside reviewer could notice a major bug in ~30 minutes when I’ve spent hundreds of hours writing this code, I would have caught it already” is widely held as false in programming.
See my comment here. I’ve vetted my ideas in the course of conversations with many good thinkers. By now you’ve seen enough instances in which I’ve appeared to be saying something different from what I was intending to communicate so that you should give substantial weight to that possibility when I say something that seems obviously wrong.
