Author has a point yet inexplicably dresses it up with bashing classicists. Author sure seems to know a lot about all classicists all from what a single one of them said, apparently carelessly and without rigor, in a setting that no one should have taken too seriously. This is employing the fallacy of hasty generalization, which the author uses as a point of departure but never strays too far before coming back again to bash classicists' command of Latin. I wish a classicist would respond. Most of them are mental giants that would make quick work of the author's meandering editorial, if only they were remotely interested in anything written in the last 1200 years. Author is clearly not an academic. Academics don't bicker... there is no hierarchy or pecking order there, with the economists on top, physicists in the middle, and theater professors at the bottom. In general, they all respect each other's work and PhDs (except interdepartmentally... head of dept. stuff is political), because they know how much work they invested in their own.
