My first encounter with a "thought leader" follower was in undergrad, reading (among others) The Innovator's Dilemma for a J-term seminar. Knowing the controversy surrounding Christensen and having already read the book, I posted the New Yorker article by Lepore (mentioned in the OP) on the class discussion page as a counterpoint. The TA (why you need a TA for an abbreviated section, idfk) lit the comments alive with hyped up acolytic fervor - couldn't help himself.
