On Critiquing and Changing Genres

After reading the article "On Critiquing and Changing Genres" I found that the concept of being able to successful (and properly) use the correct genre for a specific circumstance to be one of the (if not the) most important part of this article. While the idea may seem simple at first, its absolutely crucial that one is able to successfully (and efficiently) use the right genre in the right circumstance. If this ability is not mastered, it can lead to confusion and disorder, which in turn begets more of the latter. Questioning and evaluating assumptions is also key to this skill of analyzing genres, as through this process one can identify with efficiency how credible the source is, and if the proper genre is being used in the right circumstances (in the first place). If it is not properly used, all of the credibility and merit goes away with it, leaving the work "hollow".
