A discussion of ODH* in DLS by Rudy Sedlak occasionally of RD Chemical Co. AO* has been an observed phenomenon in DLS* since the institution of the TT*. However with the specialization of the sciences, that has allowed the DLS to pursue research paths that could never hope to be justified by any responsible peer review, there has come the real problem of the establishment of a PO. Since the average enlightened person could never hope to understand even 1% of the OS research being performed at any time, and given the impaired comprehension facilities of the majority of the DLS population, the establishment of a PO was impossible. A new way to establish a PO was mandatory for the continuation of the HToA. Thus some hero(ine) DLS, now long lost, realized that the best way to achieve major gains on the social front was to adopt AO. AO as a tool for achieving position in scientific research has been very successful, but it has been brought to its ultimate form in scientific papers with AAA. Although abbreviation started out as a tool to ease discussions, it was quickly was seized on by the status hungry DLS on the TT as a powerful tool to facilitate ODH, and refined to the current it's rarified form as AAA. AAA is now the leading tool of the BMOC. The natural result of this is that the process has now reversed on itself, and all communication has come to a halt. This is of course because there is no lower form of self-defacement than to ask "What does XYZ mean?". Thus any self-respecting DLS now has complete immunity from being questioned as long as he practices AAA skillfully in presentations; no one wants to show that they don't understand his AO. The use of AAA in teaching is reaching impressive levels. It is now no longer necessary to understand anything, all that is required is that the student have a proper command of the DLS's particular array of AAA. This gives the appearance of not just intelligence and understanding, but of concurrence and support of the DLS's thinking, thus guaranteeing good grades, and recommendations. The study of this phenomenon can give us a new understanding of the entire field of science, and it's reason for being. A properly done inquiry into this important area will keep this researcher and his family, and perhaps those of certain selected like-minded individuals funded for many years. *ODH Obfuscation Designed to Humiliate AAA Abbreviation Ad Absurdum DLS Doctoral Level Scientists AO Aggressive Obfuscation TT Tenure Track PO Pecking Order OS Ostensibly Scientific HToA Hallowed Traditions of Academia --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
