NAHH, Camille, it's not just a matter of the "section men" vs. the
amateur readers.  What made the Section men so bad was their attitude
toward their subject--that they were above it, somehow--above the
literature they studied.  That's why they ruined every author they
lectured about.  There are literary types that actually "love" their
subjects, and that's who you want filling in for the profs.

And yes, I agree, the "amateur reader" can come up with a brilliant
reading of a text.  It's just a matter of an educated opinion being more
worthy of respect than an uneducated one in general...
