I encourage you to post the quarter-baked ones sooner rather than later.
The community hasn’t rejected something unless you land in the negatives, which is pretty rare.
I’ve never been in anyplace better for rewarding clear expressions of where thoughts are incomplete. Further, if you write incomplete thoughts accompanied by questions, there are often comments containing helpful further reading, even on issues not core to the community’s interests.
I do not have advanced training in formalism or anything, so earlier posts which spend more effort describing the intuitions and false starts are the most valuable stage for me to consume in the intellectual pipeline.
Think of quarter-baked like a cheap test: if it gets some votes anyway, people are interested. Then the next post will be better, and most of us like ideas being carried farther along in development. I’m pretty sure this is an aesthetic thing entirely separate from the idea itself.
Relax, you did great!
