Laziness
I'm starting to wonder whether people in the humanities and social sciences (to a much lesser extent) actually do work. Seriously.

Well, they write lots of papers...
This is a quote from the introduction to the religion book I'm reading. I thought you might enjoy it:
"In actual fact, however, that apparently logical approach would probably prove to be more confusing for the simple reason that scholarship on ritual, as in many other areas, does not usually proceed so directly from data to theory. Most often, explicit theories or implicit assumptions lead scholars to find data that support or challenge these views."
