"One person with a fantastic view may be suspected of delusions; two people with the identical view are just oddballs."

That's delightful. Thank you.

Judge Easterbrook can be relied upon to write clear, accessible, interesting decisions. So can Judges Posner and Evans of the same Circuit; I wonder if the 7th really has a higher proportion, or I just don't know of the other judges on different Circuits who are also excellent writers?
