The post itself and the comments are pretty much in the nature of discussion; as such, I suggest this post be moved there.
Affirm.
Somewhat unfamiliar with the LW system; can I just edit the post to move to discussion without messing up the existing thread in any way?
Yep, just re-save in Discussion.
I did almost post this in discussion; I'm unclear on exactly what the distinction is supposed to be. LessWrong is unusual in having two sections that both allow anyone to contribute; I suspect that's the source of much confusion about what "main" is supposed to be. More input on this appreciated.
It's a bit unclear for me as well, but I've taken the "Discussion" title to imply that at least posts that are intended to primarily poll people for their opinions, like this one, should go there. I think that, as a rule of thumb, articles in "Main" should mostly be able to stand on their own, in the sense that you'll gain something even if you read just the article itself and none of the comments. (And yes, I've sometimes violated this rule myself.)
It's not really clear-cut; it's main-page subject matter, I'm not sure the treatment's quite up to it. I don't strongly object to it being on main.
I felt like this should go in discussion when I first saw it.
