- Your question is unclearly written. I'm not sure what your "assertion about the importance of a 'mature understanding' being desirable" specifically refers to. My guess is the assertion "it is helpful for the^[Codidact is not a singular Q&A community, so using "the" here doesn't really make sense. You could say Codidact is a singular community containing multiple Q&A communities, but it is a fairly explicitly stated view that different Q&A communities can have different values, including different standards for questions.] community to have a mature understanding of what actually makes a good question" where "mature understanding" seems to defined as "a good understanding of viewpoints that don't agree with you".
- So, to unpack it, your actual assertion seems to be "it is helpful for the community to have a good understanding of viewpoints on what actually makes a good question that don't agree with the community's". This is already a bit incoherent as your notion of "mature understanding" doesn't really make sense when applied to a community since communities don't have a singular viewpoint and don't "understand" things.
Regardless, I think it's potentially possible for a Q&A community having something like your "'mature understanding' of what actually makes a good question" to be undesirable. However, desirable or not, I think it is simply unimportant. What *is* important for a community to have a rough consensus on what makes a good question (for that community).
