These blights will only worsen (and they will worsen exponentially)

In my view, these shortcomings from critics and panels are far from peccadillos. By elevating a flawed work to the status of a masterpiece, they only discourage authors from reflecting upon and refining their craft. These individuals are failing writers like Everett, writers who clearly hold immense vision and great works within their minds. But, more importantly, they are harming literature on a much broader scale.
