The other day, I had a discussion with a colleague about a paper we're writing.
"I'm not sure I see what's interesting about this," I said.
"I also don't," he said, shrugging. "But it's an important paper for our lab, to show we're working on it, and sometimes we just need boring paper that gets the data out there."
