Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

This is true in general for humans, the best way to start a design discussion is, "I propose that we do X to solve Y!" rather than, what are some solutions to problem Y? People are much better at correcting than creating from a blank page.
