I would have liked to know this before I started my master, not now that I'm finishing it. That's a weird bit of lingo, or is that just me? I've seen this expressed more fully like "result follows easily but tediously" or something to that effect. The second statement does not follow from the first, so leaving it out doesn't imply it in my reading. Perhaps it's usually left out to not discourage students/readers from working it out themselves?
