       | This turned out to be an interesting read. The author succeeded
       | in applying his criteria to his own article:
       | 
       | 1. It denies some aspect of the audience assumption-ground: It
       | denies that what is interesting is what is true, and proposes a
       | different theory.
       | 
       | 2. It falls into one of the outlined categories: "What seems to
       | be a disorganized (unstructured) phenomenon is in reality an
       | organized (structured) phenomenon". In this case the phenomenon
       | is _interesting theories_.
       | 
       | However, although he insists on understanding one's audience's
       | assumptions about a topic in order to stimulate their interest,
       | he provides little guidance on how to figure out those
       | assumptions.
