Should we have a thread to refer theorists to?

[Koen G]

Even if it is difficult due to the constant repetition, we should continue to try to respond to each "solution" individually. A quasi "automatic forwarding" to another thread seems inhospitable, especially to new members. There is also the hope that some will take the hints seriously and thus develop further. With a blanket reference, there is probably less willingness.

You are right that if we were to do only that, we would even undermine the purpose of the forum. As I see it, a thread like this would be more like a tool. Something to be referred to in an individualized discussion. For example: "many people struggle with noticing how an interpretative step exponentially increases the number of possible translations, effectively making their method unrepeatable. This is so common that it is in our list of common problems. See 'thread'".
