As a physicist, I recommend being broadly read so that when the scholar of Medieval Persian Literature has questions that you can at least hang on at the most rudimentary level with their research. Someone with an interest is exciting!
And that’s how a I get read a paper before publication.
Not quite as bad as having to agree with Michael Eisner on something, but it still stings.
