I've heard the term "title gore" apply to titles -- this is "abstract gore". The abstract reads like a Reddit comment. Might also want a [2013] by this.

- saagarjha 8y agoI liked the abstract though: I felt like I understood the content of the paper without having to read the abstract multiple times.
- alanbernstein 8y agoAbstracts written in "academicese" are the real abstract gore. This could stand to be improved, but it's relatively clear and straightforward.
- JadeNB 8y agoThe worst thing about the abstract is that it looks like it was cut-and-pasted with no attention to formatting (which maybe it was: does ResearchGate just generate it automatically?). The reference to "all 2n binary strings of length n" is disconcerting until one realises what happened.
