Who cares how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? I hate when my grad classes devolve into conversations about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Like, who cares? Look, we could debate how many angels can dance on the head of a pin all day. It won't doesn't get us any closer to substantive solutions for the community.
