I endorse this use of the question feature. Probing for confusions specifically on a topic is a good idea because:
The question format seems like it would lower the threshold for articulating them
It collects a bunch of different confusions in the same place, helping to get a well-rounded update and thus increasing the quality ceiling of each iteration of refinement
Especially since johnswentworth wasn’t one of the driving authors of the idea, I put this into the mental bucket of “good stewardship of the pipeline,” alongside tasks like recording or summarizing off-Lesswrong conversations/interviews.
