I think this is very interesting but I'm not sure it should be a top-level post. Not due to the length but simply because it isn't terribly relevant to LW. Something can be very interesting and still not the focus here.
There is interesting discussion to be had that is relevant to LW.
How so? I'm not seeing it.
That's because there isn't a top-level post yet! :P
The point being that many, many more people read /new than read 400 comments deep in the open thread.
It is easier to convince people that there is an interesting discussion to be had relevant to LW if you can discuss its relevance to LW in an interesting fashion when you post it.
More seriously, if there isn't some barrier to posting, /new will be suffer a deluge of marginally interesting material, and after the transients die out nobody will be watching the posts there, either. I read most new posts because most new posts are substantive.
