I argue in the margins, as we've done for millennia.
- pedalpete 6y agowhy is this an argument?
- mishftw 6y agoI think they mean that they just write their thoughts/arguments for/against whatever topic at hand in the margins. Also known as annotating I suppose.
- hprotagonist 6y agoi argue with the text, my past arguments with the text... a lot of the notes i take on papers boil down to “underline absurd claim, write WTF in the margin”.
- biswaroop 6y agoBut what if "I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain"?
- WheelsAtLarge 6y agoThen you write that and wait until Andrew Wiles (version 2.0) figures out how to prove it for himself.
- tomjen3 6y agoWrite down (page number;note counter) in the margin and then elaborate on one or more pieces of vellum, parchment, paper or bit(s) that you attach with the book, or keep secure.
