I keep saying, this tweet is going to be exhibit A in my tenure dossier.

Perhaps related. Sharon Crowley writing in 1990 about how current-traditional pedagogy does not so much teach writing but rather conformity to prescriptive essay forms.

Agreed. Great taxonomy. Scientific "tRUTH" is a really interesting stylization.

It all reminds me of Vico's distinction between (1) ineffable divine wisdom and (2) worldly "poetic" wisdom, created and recreated by human production. I think people try to disguise poetic wisdom in divine garb.
