Few researchers have that kind of time.
- dsacco 9y agoBut I suppose they have the time to make disparaging remarks about everyone else’s understanding, without any overtures at correcting it? Edit: This seems to be an unpopular comment already, so let me sidestep potential criticism with the following clarification: I work in cryptography, both professionally and academically, and I make every attempt to help improve understanding of that discipline here on HN. My comment here is directed at the current top comment in the thread. An open rant about some group’s poor understanding of a highly technical area to that group does not improve their understanding, and it will just isolate everyone who reads the comment who doesn’t have a firm grasp of the field (which by the nature of the rant will imply most people reading it). The feeling of exasperation is valid, but share it with colleagues, or augment it with some attempt at guidance. Otherwise, what are you ranting about except to yell at something that isn’t going to change, while everyone must sit around and be witness to your condescension?
