Me: I had this interesting idea for a paper, but when I talked to my instructor, it was pretty clear she didn't get what I was talking about. So I simplified it a lot. But then when I started writing it, it was getting too long. So I gave up part of it. And then I talked to my instructor again, and realized it was going to have to be way more simple. And I was getting desperate, I couldn't please her! So I tossed away most of what I'd written, and then simplified what was left more and more, till I was actually embarrassed to be writing that. But then - I couldn't believe it! I got the best grade in class.
GF: Perhaps it was homeopathic.
