The Misinterpretations model: "Although many have argued X, a careful examination suggests Z."
The Gap model: "Although others have noted X, they have overlooked the importance of Y."
The Modification model: "Although I agree with the X and Y ideas of other writers, it is important to extend/refine/limit their ideas in this way..."
