<p>Is it ever appropriate to share one's thoughts on a topic as a way to garner constructive feedback and opinions from the community instead of asking a direct question, or is there another place for this? Example:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The following is my understanding of the merits of logistic regression vs SVM for classification. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Point 1 </li>
  <li>Point 2 </li>
  <li>Point 3</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Can anyone correct or add to my understanding?</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Now I know that this is technically a question, but the spirit of it is somehow different than traditional forum posts which are seeking to solve a specific thing.</p>
