Ya Win Some Ya Lose Some

I had a theological paper rejected today. Basically it was thought to be too "preliminary" -- or I might say, a pastiche -- although there sometimes is a place for that. Also, it was thought to be conceptually "false". OBSERVATION: Yet with regard to the concept, I trust my instinct. In 2011, I received a response to a paper, about a concept: "Absolutely not." However, in 2013 the same concept was accepted and published as avant garde, and is now popular. Academics rejected it, academics accepted it.
