There seems to be something fundamentally fallacious in stating that an
analysis is invalid if the writer doesn't produce significant work.
That's akin to saying that Plato has nothing significant to say about
ethics because he couldn't apply his ethical analysis/thinking to his
own life.  Where is the logic in that?
