I found an article abstract from a reputable journal that ended like this: "...and that's why Sylvania Fernández's work is so terrible." I was delighted by the unacademic directness and laughed out loud, and immediately started showing people, including a reader of this blog who happened to be there. I knew the name was wrong in the abstract; it was really supposed to be R***** S*****, a woman from Granada in LGM's circle.
It is too bad we can't write like that in academia. We have to say an argument is unconvincing, or unsupported by the evidence. It's not just "terrible," even if really is.
