Seriously

Any academic who quotes long paragraphs in another language without offering a translation and then goes on to build off of those CRUCIAL ideas is pretentious, opaque, and just plain mean.

I wonder if neurobiologists that expect their audience to be trilingual suffer from the same condition as those boys in high school that drove the twenty-foot-lifted trucks with those ridiculous monster wheels. What did we call them? Oh, yeah: COMPENSATING.
