Here’s how it’d work. Suppose I want to improve my understanding of Aumann’s Agreement Theorem. I would write up my thoughts, doing my best to explain what I know about it. Then other people would comment on what I’m missing and where I went wrong.
This seems useful for a few different reasons:
As an author, the comments provide you with personalized feedback and allow you to “fill in the gaps”.
As an author, the act of doing the initial write-up seems like it’d be very beneficial. Ditto for readers writing out their comments. (I have the Feynman Technique in mind.)
As a reader, you may have a decent understanding of Aumann’s Agreement Theorem, but seeing it explained by a different author might help some things “click” for you (I have Non-Expert Explanation in mind).
Answer: Check My Understanding
