Easy test: send a summary/bullet point/whatever as a private message to a few select people from LessWrong, and ask them for their reactions. Possible loss: a few select members become biased due to large inferential gap against the ideas that you gave up to pursue a more important goal. Possible gains: rational feedback to your ideas, supporters, and an estimate of the number of supporters you could gain by sharing your ideas more widely on this site.
