This reminds me to lower my expectations for my dissertation, something I have to learn more deeply if I ever hope to finish. <br /><br />Tim </p> Thanks, Jarrett.

I've been mulling over an aside from a recent post of yours: "What we learn in graduate school, after all, is not how to deepen our knowledge but how to organize our ignorance." This reminds me to lower my expectations for my dissertation, something I have to learn more deeply if I ever hope to finish.

I have fond memories of our lunch in San Francisco in 2005. Don't worry, my dissertation took eight years. Cheers, Jarrett Thanks for this bit of archival work, which would deserve dead-tree publication if that still counted as a mark of quality or relevance.
