Great. Wrong use of"stupid", IMHO, because it's an oxymoron like feel numb and, while one may be ignorant of something, eg. of the memory architecture and the losses of firefox that frequently leads into crashes, you can't really be stupid of (or about) something, if to stupify rather implies loss (of brain cells).
And why was this published in cell research?
- stonogo 4y ago> And why was this published in cell research? Because a quality academic journal is more than DOI-minting paper mill. Cell Research in particular regular has commentary and essays about the state of microbiology research, advice for scientists at various career stages, biographical sketches or interviews with various scientists, and even humor (search "sticky wicket" in the Cell archives for examples of that last).
