Other Subjects in Value Investing (Than Stock Picking)

I've been thinking lately about how this sub pretty much only discusses individual stock picks. While this has its place in a value investing operation, I think there's far more to successful investing. In fact, there are probably *many* things that matter a whole lot more.

Why don't we talk about higher-order topics, like portfolio construction and diversification (or lack thereof), decision theory, behavioral finance (besides panics), tax planning and personal finance? All from a value investing framework? There are many interesting things to discuss there. Formulaic investing (dollar-cost/value/constant-share averaging, rebalancing), in-depth risk management (Monte Carlo simulations, for example), decision trees/scenario analyses, the greater fool theory, volatility tax, relative pricing, and much more?

I get the feeling that the real answer is that a lot of people here are just inexperienced, but I wish there were more meaningful discussion sometimes. What do you guys think?
