this shouldn't stop you at all: write it all up, post on HN and go viral, someone will jump in to correct you and point you at sources while hopefully not calling you, or your mother, too many names.
Most stuff posted here are mostly ignored, though. If grounding to reality requires one to become viral first, we are cooked.
HN frontpage hardly requires being viral.
Just genuine intrigue from a select few.
Did you ever visit `https://news.ycombinator.com/newest` page? Like 99% of submitted topics are never seen by anyone but few wanderers.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't require femininity either.
I'm guessing you meant "virality"

It’s still way easier the first time.
The 50th time someone comes to the same conclusion nobody on HN is going to upvote the topic.
This wasn't a technical subject, and unrelated to HN. Just edited my post to clarify - thanks!
