As I said - there is difference between the result and process. There have been stated that the design team studied the topic but nowhere what the studies where (name of paper, anything). Maybe using the mailing list would slow down too much but having minutes and setting bot to log the messages probably would not. If there is discussion instead stating that settings kills kitties and small pandas you could just point at research that you based on - say research XYZ says ABC so IJK - instead of saying that there was some research that stated that. If you post what you based on (even only in case of more heated discussion - say >100 comments in beta) then: - Some people will just be impressed, recognize that decision was grounded on something etc. - Some people will read paper, improve their knowledge about UI design and agree with you. - Some people will read paper, improve their knowledge about UI design and disagree with you but using more constructive arguments. - Some people will not read paper and still comment but you still have benefit of not hearing from first 2 groups and having constructive arguments from 3rd.
