dexcg's review against another edition

Haven’t read all the example chapters. But the theory is great re reconstructive/disjunctive. I’m not sure I’m as on board with articulative/preemptive. Plus, it feels like it fits most perfectly in the current moment so the theory is strongest now. The gap between Lincoln/TR/Hoover is so dramatic it makes one wonder a bit how accurate the articulative/preemptive labels are.
