In fields I know something about (unlike art, which I don't), "interesting" and "well-done" are not very correlated.

So people who do good work are never interesting? Or people with fascinating ideas never learn to polish them? I'm confused.
First, I'm not talking about people, but about works. Second, I wasn't saying there was a reverse correlation, but not really any, in my experience. Exciting work (from the consumption standpoint) is not really any more or less likely to be well-done in a technical sense, as far as I've experienced.
