    😯 I’d not heard of this one. I suppose this is what you should expect if you have over your entire intellectual apparatus to the yanks to keep the communists out.

    Not dissimilar to the Sokal Affair, which eventually led to the book, [Fashionable Nonsense] (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashionable_Nonsense). I’m not convinced that Sokal and Bricmont found what they claimed to find but they did reveal some flaws in the academic research process.
