Sir, I applaud you for your skills at diplomacy. It sadden me every day when I hear of perfectly good engineers executing on half-baked ideas. Wouldn't a list of 3 great ideas be better than a grab bag of random thoughts? Think about the potential engineering hours wasted.
We should start a campaign: "Save those Engineering Hours, Stop half baked ideas".
Even most good ideas start as half baked ones though.
The thing that's been keeping me alive for the last 15 years started as a bet for a bar of chocolate, several pivots later it was a top 300 website, sometimes it doesn't take much.
The problem is, half-baked ideas themselves might not be fully fleshed out. Reading one of these ideas might generate a spark that will finish the idea.
That being said, a lot of half-baked ideas proved rather popular. I mean, seriously, does "post what you are doing, but you're limited to 140 characters" sound like anything really worth while?
