The Pedants' Revolt

Deep down, academics want the same thing as everyone else: acceptance, with minor revisions.

A doctoral student and their advisor walk into a bar. The advisor orders a rough draft and they sit in awkward silence for eight months.

To err is human. To err repeatedly is research.
