Some of the best analysis I ever wrote was written really well and had
really brilliant logical conclusions inside, only it wasn't based on
reality, but rather on facts not in evidence. Boy was I annoyed having to
re-write. I wished I was a lawyer and could spin it rather than defend my
thesis, but there you go.
