    Fair point. I also took pretty good notes, which as I recall formed a pretty good outline for me.

      Exactly and you remember where in the readings you saw things so it’s easy to flip around and pick a part you want to reference. That’s not at all the same as asking a bot to do it for you.
      I have a lot of glorious moments but my highlight was when I started a 4,000 word paper the afternoon before and got glowing reviews. It’s not because I was intellectually lazy, it’s because I knew exactly what references I was looking for and had plotted a large part of it out in my head already. I mean, I was lazy, but I did know what was going on, and I learned.
