This may be a rhetorical ? but I posted about this yesterday. I think it's the pressure of academia to present original work, so folx name everything that isn't being done in prior work to argue for their work being unique. And folx have to be mentored to resist that urge.

The academy doesn't actually care about what scholarship does or impacts.

I've always been taught that my scholarship, in order to be good scholarship, has to be damn near above reproach. No pressure though, the academy just wants us to learn to be contributing members to society with a lifelong love of learning...

I like to ask my students this same question. It’s so much more productive when the discussion focuses on how work contributes to knowledge vs the opposite.

Agreed. In my 3-hour grad seminars, I usually don't allow any "critiques" of the readings to be levied until the last 30 minutes. It's far too easy to fail to understand a work because we're distracted by what it doesn't do or what we feel it doesn't do correctly.

I always tell my students that if in 15 years everyone is talking about how stupid you were, then your work made a difference
