I might get down-voted for this, but I'm going to clarify my position a little.
I'm not advocating for shutting-down anyone's discussion. What I, and probably others, are advocating for, is only putting in trust in proven crypto.
The parent comment to all of this basically has the form: "Wow, you could totally solve your password hashing (that isn't broken) by using this scheme I came up with. No one else has looked at it, but boy, it looks difficult to crack to me."
There's a complete difference between that comment, and many of the others: "how about if we do X", and I believe the second is completely valid for discussion; As LONG as you include relevant experts in that discussion.
Joe and Bob talking about encryption isn't very useful unless Joe &| Bob are trained in cryptography and have experience in applying that crypto in the real world.
Down-vote all you want, but that's my view-point at least.
