2/2 Don’t skip the footnote and comments. “COMMENTS BY REVIEWER A: I have studied this manuscript very carefully with lemon juice and X-rays and have not detected a single flaw in either design or writing style. I suggest it be published without revision. Clearly it is the most concise manuscript I have ever seen …” #writersblock #funny #brevity

@csaetre Haha, I'd forgotten about this one. It was also an ironic comment on attempts to introduce the autonomous human actor into environmentally determinist behaviour analysis. (Which is where I was in 1974 as a Skinnerian behaviourist - so we can all change!)

@csaetre Thanks, that paper is well worth a read! And it is generously provided by the publisher as open access. It aligns too with the research by Zongker (2007) https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf

@csaetre @blogdiva I wish physicists and astronomers had this sense of humor.

@csaetre I wonder what the Q&A would be like if this were presented orally.

@csaetre i both love that a blank page was published and that even a blank page didn't get edited during peer review. ;)

@csaetre I have plagiarized that work.
