Being long is not a disqualifier for being in discussion. In fact, every main post could go into discussion; the question is whether a post deserves to be in main.
After reflecting upon your statement, I believe that I committed a case of attribute substitution. I substituted “Is this a fully fleshed out idea?” with “Is this a long post?”. Although, on further reflection, being fleshed out is perhaps necessary but definitely not sufficient for main.

Ah. This did not occur to me, since I tend to regard length as a cost.
