I am trying to learn proof based math on my own and once I construct a proof, I often have a gut feeling that it's not airtight.
What is the best way of asking such questions?
My findings till now:
- This question's answer in MetaThis question's answer in Meta points out that reading other people's long and formal proofs is pretty boring and annoying (which I agree with). But, it's not always possible to write an airtight proof even if I feel I know the subject.
- Some posts state that one should include it as a part of the answer and others state that I should answer my own question and leave the body only to the question.
