Another important feature of Davis’s argument is that it inextricably links article and audience: interesting work denies some assumptions of a particular audience. A piece of scholarship will be unlikely to be interesting to all audiences; indeed, scholarly work will probably be interesting only to those who share many, though not all, of its assumptions. In other words, scholars who wish to influence an audience must “read” that audience in much the same way that the audience reads a scholarly work (Davis, 1986).
