academic language, translated

thoodleoo:

some scholars may think…but this line of thought is misguided
“some scholars don’t know what they’re talking about, and i sure am glad i’m not one of them”

it is worthwhile to note why this topic is important
“i don’t know why this is important but i hope you’ll publish it anyway”

in a well-known article by renowned scholar x…
“i can’t remember the article this is from so i will pretend like everyone knows what it is”

it is tempting to believe that…
“you’re an idiot if you believe that…”

this is a difficult question to answer
“i don’t know the answer”

to sum up the evidence which i have just posited to my readers…
“my paper is not yet long enough”

the evidence is unclear
“fuck if i know mate lmao”

further research may be necessary
“i procrastinated on this and i’m hoping nobody notices”
