I’m sick as a dog, my friends. We are experiencing extreme weather changes, and I missed the turn from “wow, very hot, summertime is here” to “bloody cold today again, I’m turning into an icicle.” Went out underdressed, and here’s the result.
In my highly morose state, I had to do blind review for an article. I tried hard to give it a chance but do you know what the absolute walnut of the author did? He quoted the same secondary source 41 times. Long quotes, too. A full 15% of his entire article were quotes from this single source. And the source is not Aristotle or Kant, to put it mildly. I might have expressed my opinion a little too sincerely in the review.
I tend to reject a lot, to be honest. Even when I’m completely healthy. Usually, it’s for these very obvious things like today’s article.
