On the other hand, treating things too generously is a good way to find yourself down a rabbit-hole. Some ideas really are worthless (note that if no other ideas are worthless, the idea I'm expounding here is worthless, by definition), and it's good to be able to recognize them before you waste too much mental energy.

> treating things too generously

That's a risk I don't think HN is in much danger of, but the Principle of Charity addresses this case as well as the other.
