One of the most fun (?) parts of academia is the unique blend of frustration and satisfaction that results when a shoddy paper somehow clears peer review only to get eviscerated when it lands on the desk of an actual expert.<p>"the detailed exploration of irrelevancies" LOL, if that isn't a "time-tested" method for making a paper <i>sound</i> academic, I don't know what is.
