Signs that you may have become exasperated during the course of your research, #3291

I was doing a search through my notes on primary texts and came across my jottings on Joseph Fletcher's sermon The Protestant Reformation Vindicated (1822).  Fletcher was doing a standard-issue rundown on the (from a Protestant POV) differences between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism--justification by faith alone, Christ the sole mediator, etc.--and I must have been whacking my head against the desk (figuratively speaking), because my notes suddenly break out into "And so on, and so on..."

Come to think of it, I've found that one of the dangers of working with controversial literature is that you can be lulled into a dreamy state of inattention--because everybody keeps repeating the same positions ad nauseam.  But not everybody is repeating them quite the same way, and, of course, some people appear to be voicing the usual shibboleths but actually aren't.
