i agree, but...

...but since the old ground was never successfully cultivated, merely broken,
it's inevitable that newcomers to the field or to this topic will revisit the
same now-obvious observations and the same failed approaches as done earlier.

is there a writeup of the ground already broken, so that newcomers can get up
to speed more quickly, and help find new ground sooner?  i've got discussion
archives going back two decades on this, and many folks here have it going
back further or encompassing more threads than me.  has anybody distilled it
into a digestable historical treatment?
