If you were to submit a paper to a conference or a journal and they asked you to provide an abstract -- would you be offended? Why not? When you read ACM or IEEE journals, do you see the abstracts as "dumbing down to TV-style sound bytes"?
- davidw 15y agoLet's put it this way: if you can't figure it out from the title of the article, it's just not for you. The article was not meant for people with a casual interest in the subject, but those who wanted to know about the details. If that's not you, so be it. I would note, however, that at this point you've surely spent more time complaining here than it would have taken you to read the entire article.
