Let's talk about the Detective

Additionally, I don't believe making nuclear level PRs in order to push discussion forward is productive, as it tends to just result in emotional arguing and every other response being the same refutation of that PR. It also feels like an underhanded tactic to get people to accept ideas they normally wouldn't, as an alternative to the nuclear option.

I didn't consider this and its a good point, I just thought the forum thread was underused and wanted to point people to it, after sleeping on it a bunch since the initial thread was made I've come to think the detective is fine and that I should probably take a step away from balance for a bit.

To advocate, while I agree with Carton's point I interpreted the intent here as earnest myself. It's a good point to raise though. I will admit as an unrelated aside I have a partial bias in that it can be frustrating to see so many discord discussions wither and die on the vine around ideas because people are so reticent about engaging with the forums, but it's unrelated because we can't use PRs to drive people to discuss things for obvious reasons, just not personally sure what might help this side issue.
