We argued this point back in March, around about here:

I remember also last year there was discussion here about the scope of
this mailing list, and I remember the late Edward Catmur made a very
good contribution to the discussion to affirm that this is the right
place to float an idea.

Jonathan, if you want a group where people only share
thoroughly-developed ideas, then you'll need to either start a new
group or try to have the scope of this one changed.

This particular mailing list is not just for sharing papers, it's also
a place to make challenges on long-standing trends in the language, or
to float a half-baked idea.
