<p><em>Just so this question has an answer...</em></p>

<p>I'm not aware of a canonical thread on this topic. I think that making one is a good idea.</p>

<p>I have some general advice for anyone who is considering writing an answer. From my experience working on <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/352036/what-should-i-do-when-my-neural-network-doesnt-learn">What should I do when my neural network doesn&#39;t learn?</a>, I discovered that the trick is to be comprehensive and organized. Take the time to plan your answer. Use the formatting options to separate the post into distinct sections of related content. It will take time, but it's often the case that specific topics have specialized threads, so it's well-worth the time to dig through the site content to find relevant discussions.</p>

<p>It took me several hours to write my answer, and more time to provide incremental edits and revisions. It's well worth the time, since these threads will be viewed thousands of times or more.</p>
