They have little value if they are not tested. I value much more the ideas shared by people with the ability to test them (even if they haven't yet), just because it's less likely there is something obviously wrong with the idea.
It's rare for speculative research ideas to end up being "correct" (at least in their initially-proposed form), so the value of sharing them lies primarily in the perspectives they open, not in their correctness. Be wrong in illuminating ways.

How about a conference or workshop with illuminative failures? There is a value in showing research dead ends :)
