Evidence

The Harvard professor argued, implicitly and correctly within the academy, that what is original about her work is the archival labor guaranteed by certain facts in her knowledge possession. She deserves, by the standards of the academy, to enjoy the prestige of acknowledgment as the mediator of this knowledge. The senior journalist, on the other hand—and correctly within the world of trade publishing—sees that what is original about her work is the judicious selection of material and the way she crafts the story. — Tilar J Mazzeo, How to Write a Bestseller, 212 (#expands, via linked claim)
