My favorite sentence from this utterly delightful John Holbo essay on literary studies, good and bad writing, theory, and the MLA:
Doubts about the correctness of the paper’s conclusions do not fall within the scope of the paper, as it were.
Damn. I wish I’d written that.
UPDATE: I got to the end, noticed the trackbacks, and saw that Matt Yglesias had highlighted the same paragraph.
