The truth, however, is that everybody who is able and willing to write a book and publish an article is doing just that. And everybody else goes from one silly excuse of a committee or a suffering student to another, moaning about how much they would be publishing if the horrible oppression didn’t prevent them from doing so.

Everyone’s work is under-appreciated outside one’s own area. Almost everyone’s, except a few famous people whose work is over-valued.
