I think we live in different universes or something. I cannot imagine how
the questions of interest to the discipline of anthropology can be
construed as "narrow."  It may be true that I, as a non-specialist, may get
bored by your detailed analysis of [whatever], but as long as you make some
credible attempt to show how this detailed analysis is relevant to the
wider world of human history and culture I *will* be interested.
