Creating a thread to discuss a preprint on Arxiv is generally not encouraged, but exceptions may be made for well-known authors. The community seeks clarification on which specific preprint is being proposed for discussion. Users are advised to review the site's global guidelines to understand the rules regarding disallowed topics and acceptable sources. Overall, while the idea is not outright off-topic, it requires careful consideration and adherence to community standards. Engaging in discussions about preprints can be valuable if aligned with the forum's guidelines.
