I cannot believe is only 3 pages do you really need 3 authors to do that?

At least this kind of academia wont be replaced because their work is worthless, thus we have no interest into automating it.

It doesn't matter how many pages are there in a paper. It's the content that matters. Math papers have the best chance of standing out here due to good abstractions: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/7330/which-math-paper-max...

If you discovered something amazing that takes one page to describe, why write a book about it? Even if it took 80 people in the team.

PS. exactly this kind of work (crappy paper) has been automated: http://thatsmathematics.com/mathgen/ ;-)

Some of the best papers of past were only 2 or 3 pages. Certainly not this one though, that's not even a paper, that's just an extended online comment, letter to the editor, journal preface.
