  2. Ways I Goofed This Up

  3. Values: Contribution • Contribution: Great Leap versus Incremental Advance • Impact: Long convoluted papers that must first prove (boring) assumptions before making the real (interesting) point.

  4. Values: Writing • Writing: Poetic versus Prosaic • Impact: The text is entertaining and interesting on its own, but clouds arguments with elaborate phrasing and shifting terminology.

  5. Values: Approach • Approach: Philosophy versus Science • Impact: Deep understanding and insights are difficult to compress into succinct terms, generalizations from these require problematic abstractions.

  6. Values: Focus • Focus: Knowledge versus Tenure and Promotion • Impact: Selection of research questions without wide appeal while overlooking widely relevant, simple, unrecognized, and unexpressed facts.

  7. Values: Goal • Goal: Product versus Package • Impact: Writing past the reviewers (my first audience is only three or five folks); or writing to the reviewers; and reaching either the critical, knowledgeable reader; or the generally prepared reader; but not both.

  8. Values: Reviewer’s Role • Reviewer Role: Destructive versus Constructive • Impact: A lack of receptiveness and empathy for the author yielding reviews that are brief pronouncements of the shortcomings and problems without thought for directions. • There is no learning for the reviewer.
