...right, of course, about the third alternative, and a very sensible one it is—working out some system of fooling the grader, although I think I should prefer the word “impressing.” We admit to being impressionable, but not to being hypercredulous simps. His first two tactics for system-beating, his Vague Generalities and Artful Equivocation, seem to presume the latter, and are only going to convince Crimson-reading graders (there are a few and we tell our friends) that the time has come to tighten the screws just a bit more...
