As you can see, this answer is what a hard academic pursuit yields. When the 
academic pursuit becomes the end in itself, there is no substance, no 
humility, no purpose, no meaning to life, just dispair and meaningless 
babblings.

No. We all know the truth is there, just help them along.

There will always be the bitter and angry critics, some will even infiltrate 
the ranks. But their end is their reward.

Respectfully,
