"you mentioned Moretti in the syllabus, and so I looked him up. I have a couple of questions about distant reading"
my whole semester of teaching has been redeemed.
A student read the syllabus? spotted a reference to a scholar and looked up his work? had follow up questions? IS THIS REAL LIFE

"An English degree is a rip off" said by the people who are currently ripping everyone off. They don't want you to be literate, to understand the context, the references or the rhetoric they are using to scam you.
A rip off for THEM. If you can read, write and parse meaning, you're harder to fool.
