That really helps! If it’s goals-related that clarifies the sort of thing it’s important to apply it to.
Taking my project for an example (Project: Part 0: Considering major life choices). That’s a major goal-related thing (or at least, working out goals thing), so that seems like the thing that is important to build Paths Forward for. I think when I’ve completed that project it would be a good idea to write up my conclusions in a series of articles (or where relevant reference accepted answers).
So I’d guess that in principle it would still be good for someone to answer all criticisms of all their ideas, but if those ideas aren’t related to their goals then there’s no urgent need to do so.
