I do wonder whether you can really need twenty posts to make your case.

The perennial cry is "LessWrong needs more high-quality content!" And when such is offered you go "Eh, condense it into a tl;dr"?

Nope, that's not what I intended to say. (My apologies for any lack of clarity.) Rather, I think that

  • 20 posts of high-quality content on a single rather peripheral topic arriving in rapid succession would not necessarily be an improvement;
  • if there are going to be 20 such posts, a TL;DR as well might be helpful at the outset.
