Literary, art, and film criticism be damned I guess. When a PhD student in the humanities writes their dissertation, they marshal a lot of facts to support the opinion they are presenting.

I can't agree with the baby comment. As an infant, my first child hardly ever laughed...he simply wouldn't "perform" and do the cute little baby things for the amusement of anyone. Throughout his public school education, he regularly earned low grades. However, once he turned 19, something "switched on" Now, the same son is a Mensa member, graduated with honors from university, has artwork in some museum in Tokyo, is well known in the spoken word community and runs his own urban farm, which serves as a model for other urban farmers in the southeastern states. These are just a few of his accomplishments.
