The Benefits of Sedotomous Publication

On my view, it's to increase and improve human understanding. There are these other things like there are ways in which forming relationships with upcoming scholars helps them to develop their own views. But I don't think that there's some kind of strong present tense duty to stand up and take credit for a particular argument. Some of the benefits to scholarship that sedotomous publication can provide are benefits that don't necessarily have anything to do with avoiding cancellation.
