If you were as good at analysis as you say, you'd have recognised that the parent took pains to state their opinion is formed from personal experience, is caveated with 'almost all', and recognises their own resulting bias, labelling it such. It seems to me that you're projecting your frustrations on someone who doesn't deserve it. Ironically, the parent complains of PhDs using lots of buzzwords (meaning using language as a cover), and your defence is full of long wordy phrases. Edit: To clarify further, if you're going for a job, your ability with words is less important than your ability to solve presented problems. People are hired for solving problems, not for trying innovative solutions just for the sake of it. As an example, upthread there is a person complaining that one of their hires spent two months doing a project in a language no-one else in the company knew. An innovative solution, but bad for the company, because it leaves the 'maintenance' part of the problem unsolved.
