I think I am one of those people, but it isn't that I don't distinguish between levels of quality, messiness, completeness, or whatever, but that I see the workshop as a place for seeking help for the whole range of problems.

Yep. See my current TDE thread. It was a frustrating, overworked mess that I had gone over so often through the years that I couldn't even remember why I had made most of the choices I'd made. I certainly didn't have much of an idea about what was good or bad about it. So I made the best draft of it I could and put it up. Three days, forty posts, five pages, and seven revisions later, I have a much better grip on it. For me, it was an incredibly productive exchange. It doesn't always go quite as well as that, but it does always prove worthwhile and helpful, for me.
