It just leads to confusion and messed up expectations. Not a good trend.

I just want to hug and squeeze you right now you smart, smart, eloquent man. That is exactly what I was driving at, only I couldn’t find the right academic language and resorted to personal anecdotes. I completely agree with what you’ve said in this post.
