So the original paper is sophistry because: >the author linked to many research papers by experts >wove an argument together out of all that research >The tone was authoritative and confident >it’s fairly long and comprehensive >it’s well-organized War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.
