True, but on the other hand, the creative work is highly personal in a way that academic stuff isn't. So instead of it being "gah, I didn't read enough, and now everybody will know," it's "gah, I'm an idiot, and now everybody will know." Which is why Doppelganger has me more nervous/self-critical than, say, my honors thesis does.
