Register or Login to view.That reminds me, I have another draft blog I need to finish (I have 41 blogs that are about 80% written and that's not counting the plant blogs I took offline years ago that I need to re-upload). It describes a couple of particularly interesting word-clusters in the big-plants section that are very relevant to the discussion of shifts and clusters.
Aside: Sigh... I've discovered that blogging is similar to programming in one way... When you think you are 80% done, you discover that the last 20% consists of all the things that could not be done readily, or for which you have to look things up that are difficult to find (or to re-find), or you are waiting on someone else (who isn't coming through), or for which there is SOME kind of snafu that is difficult to resolve... and thus the last 20% always turns out to be the hardest 80%. Programmers and climbers know what I mean when I call it a "false summit".

Striving for inclusive perfection and not posting anything is worse than posting the 80% you have with the intention of getting to the rest later, even if you never do...

I'm not striving for anything close to perfection. I get queasy just looking at my past blogs and seeing how much I left out, how much I compromised my standards.
I've learned that posting partial information can be quite disastrous. Not only is the information often misconstrued (or simply not understood in its wider context), but researchers see the germ of the idea and go running off to find the missing parts when I already have it sitting on my hard drive. This creates a great deal of duplicated effort and sometimes even backlash when I say I already have that and they say, "Oh yeah? If you have it why didn't you post it?"
Maybe that's why I have such a huge backlog. It's largely because I don't have sufficient time to finish up the details and find all the links, but it's also because I'd actually rather not post than post it incomplete because of unpleasant experiences in the past.

I can understand that. It is just that we hear you say you have scads of research you haven't posted and we wanna see it :
I dont think duplication of effort is necessarily bad, someone might make a tangential connection that leads to new considerations and directions for more research, or find that one elusive precursor to a certain image.
