Yes. Eg: "Is Logical Positivism a good idea?". Answer: no.

Eg: "Is Logical Positivism a good idea?". Answer: no.

Philosophy has yet to answer what "good" or "idea" even mean with authority, so I'm gonna say no to this, although I don't disagree with your overall assertion.

I don't think the fine details of "good" and "idea" are relevant. What' relevant is that no-one does LP any more, and even its former adherents turned against it.
