It's sad that papers in this area are so standardized in format though. Some of the classic papers break every convention and are written in very idiosyncratic ways. I want to read papers that can be enjoyed slowly and that change my life, not papers where I get trained to read them quickly in a certain way and that have prescribed sections and predictable figures. Life is too short for this rote work.
Agreed, idiosyncratic voice is so life- and mind- affirming in papers. (Do you mind sharing examples of three papers that you did enjoy slowly and change your conceptual life?)
