There proved to be a ton of valuable things I was wondering about, wishing to locate – quotations, dates, all kinds of stuff of value to me
it’s quite a wide ranging article
found about eight errors: typos, forgetting to say where I copied a quote from, and then
the greedy wish that, I came so close to realizing: given that there must have been citations presented, because never would an academic make such bold claims as Panofsky without providing citations to follow up to read more information.
The good news is that I accused Wasson of withholding details, and I said in parentheses “(assuming that there are any details to withhold)” re citations
But I did not mention the ellipses: I did not see the ellipses, and Asson snuck it past John Irving and me; he got us 😞
I had my guard down
I let my guard down regarding ellipses; I never noticed them
and now I always put a main attention on footnotes, and main attention goes on ellipses
What evil doings are going on behind those masking veil of dots?? 😱 under the cover of night and ellipses
but there is no excuse for my failure to include my summary list which I wrote last
the very last thing I wrote was my summary list at the top of the article, and I failed to summarize my eight paragraphs where I repeatedly bitterly complained all throughout the article, “Where’s the frickin damn citations??!!“
I absolutely neglected and should have made the first point that I should’ve made in the article was:
this whole message from Wasson is worthless; it is completely worthless empty argument from authority, because he has not provided us with any scholarly citations
what kind of a joke sick travesty of scholarship is this?!
what kind of a scholar would provide no citations?!
and as I wrote literally, Wasson withheld the details, and I didn’t realize how literally right I was, but I really do pretty much literally accuse him, in the article, of withholding citations, and I’m proud of having been that astute,
Though still there is no reason for my oversight; there is no justification for my oversight of failing and neglecting to list that as one of the top takeaway bullet points at the beginning of the article:
there are no citations provided from Panofsky by Wasson, and therefore everything that Wasson says is worthless garbage and a joke and a travesty of scholarship.
this is the opposite of scholarship that he’s providing to us, while Wasson withholds all details, as I wrote and accused him of, later in the article:
Why should we trust Wasson’s stated judgment (“what I have found is the unanimous view of those competent in Romanesque art”) and his unstated process of his finding of competence, especially when he declares that “those competent … Art historians of course do not read books about mushrooms”? Wasson refrains from giving us even a single shred of evidence, withholding the details (assuming there are any details to withhold) that led the art historians to their conclusion – or dogma or party line – that mushroom trees aren’t mushrooms. He delivers forth only the supposed conclusion, painting a scene as hazy, undefined, and unspecific as Saint Paul on the earthly life of Christ.
