This is just a rudimentary conjecture and I haven't worked out any of

anything I've missed.

Why is it people who get drunk one night, get a harebrain idea the think is
brilliant, but are unwilling to do any work to see if their idea holds
water, always think others will do the analysis for them?

I see. You have no idea how much work _was_ done prior to the request
for critique, yet because the idea wasn't yours it's harebrained, not
brilliant, and you therefore choose to offer derision and destructive
criticism instead of the requested critique.

The winnowing gets easier as the chaff gets blown away...
