I'm wondering whether Collin Rowe is going to be more influential or less if he writes all his essays in bullet points, --more influential because it would be much easier for his readers to get his points, or less influential because we consider him as a great theorist may mostly due to his rhetorical skills, or shall we say, skills of compiling formal phrases and references into forever running, 200-or-more words long sentences, which then further combine into labyrinth-like, tangled-spider-web-like paragraphs. My point here is, who would claim an article, on which they spent hours and hours reading, dictionary and encyclopedia searching to be anything but amazingly intellectual?
