I have read doctoral theses from Harvard, Yale, and others that were |
| 27 |
complete trash (they were all copies of an original presentation of a |
| 28 |
paper about finger trees; one included code which didn't compile). |
| 29 |
Those involved with academia on Freenode have repeatedly warned me not |
| 30 |
to trust people based on the institution they work for, nor even to |
| 31 |
trust PhD holders about their field of study. This advice has served |
| 32 |
me well. |

Unfortunately, being politely asked to explain oneself seems to be |
| 35 |
grating to a great many people. |

Yes, and from the other end, I see lots of people who hate red tape |
| 42 |
and a fear of confrontation that gets in the way of technical |
| 43 |
discussion. As far as I can tell, most of the people who feel slighted |
| 44 |
feel that way because they choose to interpret someone asking about |
| 45 |
the validity of their actions as a personal insult. |
