| This turned out to be an interesting read. The author succeeded

|
| 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.
