which I don't think completely derails my point. (For the record, the
guy sounds like a complete ass hole to me - there's always plenty of
those.) However, I have not intended to belittle others who choose to
express themselves "differently" here, only did I dare to say that
those who point it out to them are not being completely stuffy or
arrogant when they need things stated in a clear and unambiguous
manner which is a request rarely granted simply because such people
_cannot_ express themselves clearly and intelligently. I mean, while
there have been a few bizarre exceptions, many papers written these
days still elicit a high degree of erudition, sometimes even in
scientific papers, and this should not be surprising, but one further
does not expect to see anything published which is on the whole just
plain crap.
