'Indeed, now that I have served on committees faced with hundreds of letters, each describing said candidate as "outstanding" or some other superlative, I find myself paying less and less attention to them.

Instead, we end up relying on markers of achievement—CV, transcript, proposal, scholarly output—as do the writers of all those letters.'
