Short Studies On Excuses

I don't think removing the "8" from the title in this case was warranted. This is not a list post, and the items are not quickly read, content-empty mini-articles, but short essays that all fit together.

Calling it "Eight Short Studies on Excuses" is as reasonable as calling this Mozart set of studies (http://www.classiccat.net/mozart_wa/265.htm) "Twelve variations".

On the topic - interesting and well written. What are the advantages of the normal mode of excuse-evaluation compared to this?

...but then every article with an excuse will want its leading number back!

Sorry, I down-voted this but meant to up-vote it. These arrows are a bit small..

I imagine I was more likely to read this thanks to the non-list-evocative title
