I tried to skim this but it’s full of such lofty language (“one should…”) and wordy prose that I couldn’t make heads or tails as to what the actual point was.

I tried to skim this but it’s full of such lofty language (“one should…”) and wordy prose that I couldn’t make heads or tails as to what the actual point was. Sure, I went to college, but you don’t need to put a ten letter word in every single sentence…
- BeetleB 4y agoSame here. It was a pain to get through the first paragraph.
- arp242 4y agoI tried to actually read it beyond skimming, and the problem isn't just that it's full of "lofty language"; I can deal with that. It's just that a lot of it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. "Should information be liberated and organized, the full audit of scientific studies will only be necessary for those looking to progress from ninety-seven to ninety-nine percent certainty - and their work doing be more plainly and compactly communicated." What does that even mean? And in full context it's not any clearer. I got strong Stuart Pearson vibes with this one. I guess a lot of people are voting and commenting on the headline alone, as is common. But I have no idea what point the author was trying to make.
- soco 4y agoThe information "liberated"? Liberated by... hiding it from most? Sounds like Orwell - war is peace, freedom is slavery...
