>>14301621Alter 5. You don't need a hundred examples per idea, but some way of arbitrarily making examples of it. The example that comes to mind is math. If you have some formula, it doesn't really give you anything to acknowledge every valid expression that comes from it. Being able to have many different examples is an indicator of a healthy awareness of the idea. Think like turning a Rubik's cube. Does it really demonstrate anything to have snapshots of all the different combinations.
I think it could be useful for communicating an idea, a thing important in its own right. Maybe it is important for just communicating the idea to oneself, a kind of checklist of mastery. It seems that such a checklist is still lacking because no specific number really guarantees that an idea is fully explored. In the Rubik's cube, this is like having several hundred permutations but still missing the insight of switching two corners of the cube while keeping everything else the same.
7 is also interesting, but it always seems to fail. The solution to one question seems to open more questions and will shift priorities on open questions.
How would you do 8?
