To MFA or not MFA?

Frankly, this conversation has suffered from the either/or logic fallacy for years--either MFA programs are good or they're worthless. It still amazes me that this topic can still generate so much attention (check out the comments to the article if you don't believe me). If you want to get an MFA*, get an MFA (although I strongly advise not going into debt doing it). If you don't, then don't.
