I started reading Stephen Jay Gould's The Hedgehog, the Fox and the Magister's Pox when I found out it was a posthumously-published book. I never quite know how I feel about that. What if he would have drastically changed parts of it, given the chance? What if he would have fixed things or omitted things or added important points? What if he never intended for this stage of his work to go before the public?
I write things in drafts that I never actually intend for people ("people" in the general audience sense, at least) to read.
Yeah, I just never know.
