The interesting thing about that thread is the variety of things it threw up, and the fact that “the Physicist” vanished. It is a question/answer forum, rather than a general discussion, so I think those who ask questions should have a reasonable expectation of an expert opinion, not just the thoughts of another lay-person.

I suspect it would be a valuable exercise, but I’d need some direction if I were going to “try it”.

There never was nothing.
