...Think, Mr. Carswell (wherever you are), think, all of you: Imagine the situation of your grader. (Unless he is of the Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2(NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs; automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods. The only way to beat their system is to cheat.) In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard.

It's the equivalent of the British government asking the infamous pirate Captain Kidd if he wouldn't mind handing over some of his treasure maps, pretty please...
...white-collar fraud. "Of course he's hidden money; we're talking $50 or $100 million. It's a pittance to a guy like Madoff. Hiding money is a game for criminal minds, and there is no way Madoff's ever going to provide 100% of the information unless it exonerates...
