So glad that a massive study has come to the same conclusion many of us arrived at decades ago. All this pretentious jargon in academia was a principal reason I decided not to pursue a PhD and instead went into journalism and independent scholarship. Not the only reason, but a main reason nonetheless.

Academia used to be such a vaunted profession and now it feels like no one with a scrap of common sense would dare go into it. Which is a really a shame, because common sense is direly needed these days.
