What I mean is that good ideas don&#x27;t look like good ideas. The checklist you provide is a good way of validating them but even getting to the point were you want to validate them is a whole book worth.<p>That is why I am never afraid of sharing mine with anyone. If they are really good most people (including myself) wont see it and I would probably have to shovel it down their throats for them to even take them a little bit serious.<p>Great essay btw!
