I’m not sure if such a feature would be worth the work it would involve, but: a very simple “editor” to very easily create probability distributions (or maybe more generally graphs that don’t require mathematical formulas but just very rough manual sketching) and embed them into posts or comments could be useful. I’m not sure how often people would really use that though. Generally however, it would probably be a good thing to make probability estimates as explicit as possible, and being able to easily “draw” distributions in a few seconds and having a polished looking output could make that happen.
If this is something people would find useful, I’d be willing to spend the time to create such a component so it would theoretically just have to be “plugged in” afterwards.
