Why would a scholarly essay be point last? If someone is trying to make an argument, they won't want to let the reader draw their own conclusions throughout the paper; they want their audience to draw their conclusion, so they will present it first as to plant it in their minds before they consider the evidence.
I suppose if the evidence is so strong that the conclusion becomes self evident, then the PF paper might become unnecessary. But how often is a scholarly paper presenting so obvious that there can be no other answers?
