    Frankly, I think the quality of the story there may, in and of itself, be evidence of how they managed to get a 52 page paper done and have it be well received by the prof.

      Thank you! You’re very kind. That’s an interesting observation I hadn’t considered–but now I’m kind of struck by the chicken-and-egg question of whether I passed classes I didn’t put in the work for because I was a decent writer, or if I got good at writing so that I could slack off in classes.
