"The first criterion should be originality" - Donald Knuth
Not for class
On one occasion Don ripped into a paper with a long report on its failings, and was later told by the author that those constructive comments had changed his life: The author had resolved that from then on he was going to study writing and give a lot of attention to exposition. This nameless individual went on to become a renowned professor at a great (but here equally nameless) university, and an editor of a fine journal.
