No reader wants to stumble along with you, looking in every place you looked, at everything you found; they don’t want to accompany you staggering toward some sort of conclusion about all that— or no conclusion at all. What they want is what you’ve made of things. What they want is the story. It’s up to you to make it convincing. Interpret, analyse, critically assess and conclude. That’s what you’re there for.
