What happened to the old "researching the field first, thinking it through second and publishing it last?"
Some people are more comfortable with thinking alone and coming up with a complete answer, others like to discuss options / suggestions & exchange knowledge / ideas / criticism with others. I guess you are the first type, I am more of the second type, and I respect your way of thought / work - please respect mine.
I think his point was that this idea is suggested here quite frequently, and has already debunked for a large number of reasons.
