Advice on writing a paper
#13
When you have a fact F and several explanations with a different degree of plausibility, you should start with the least plausible and end with the most plausible - which, of course, mostly happens to be yours. Tongue This adds dynamism to your line of argument.

It is also a good idea to rephrase your key ideas with other words, because, as Nietzsche put it, a truth on one leg can stand on its own, but one on two legs will wander around and convince people.
