10/31: interesting but...

I read an article today that was thought-provoking and interesting; it was also focused on a topic that I once thought I'd spend a lot of research time and energy on and written in the mode I was trained in during graduate school.  Though I enjoyed the article and am glad I read it, I was also glad (and kind of surprised) to realize that I don't regret the twists and turns of my research path leading in a different direction.
