I've read a lot of scientific papers in the comp sci / machine learning space and they are rarely precise. It's been over a decade since I've ready many papers so maybe this has changed, but I remember reading a paper out of Microsoft about how to make spell correcting auto-completion for search, and it was nearly impossible to figure out precisely how it was implemented. Precision would have been achieved easily by providing code and a sample data set. instead of was a mix of prose and math equations with many gaps where you had to guess how to fill.
