- msie 18y agoDoes this refute what pg says here: http://www.paulgraham.com/resay.html http://www.paulgraham.com/resay.html ? "We have some evidence here: the famous parody that physicist Alan Sokal got published in Social Text. How long did it take him to master the art of writing deep-sounding nonsense well enough to fool the editors? A couple weeks? What do you suppose would be the odds of a literary theorist getting a parody of a physics paper published in a physics journal?"
