This is a commentary on the articles of Marietta Baba and Erve Chambers. In it, I address elements of their arguments that resonant with concerns that I have had concerning application in anthropology. An important theme in both essays is the idea that the discipline is colored by the struggle of anthropologists in various career paths for legitimacy and effectiveness. In order to contextualize my comments, I will briefly comment on the experiences I went through which shaped my conception of anthropology
