...what we end up doing and for the most part, they will not contribute to the relevant field of scholarship. They only matter--and this is of course very important--for the maturation of their authors. Theses, not unlike the thousands upon thousands of pages of Core course papers handed in every semester, may, in the words of one government professor, not be worth the paper on which they are written...
