Several years ago, a prominent person in our field opened his discussant remarks at an APSA panel by noting that having a discussant call a paper “interesting” was about the most vacuous praise you could receive. (He went on—five minutes later—to describe a paper as, yes, “interesting.”)

Those of us who enjoy institution-building and all the challenges and rewards (by which I do *not* mean financial rewards) that entails? @dandrezner.bsky.social is not wrong, but perhaps understandably a bit one-sided (all challenge, no reward).

Can we meet for $78 burgers to discuss?
