You are probably a very smart person, but your replies in this thread read like the epitome of academic pedantry, verbosity, pomposity, etc... the `my claim is (1) (2) and (3), my qualifications are these, my blah blah blah' -- Google is an engineering company; maybe you are better off working somewhere else?

Calling writing pedantic is another word for "I like sloppier thoughts than these".

Precise and verbose writing is a hallmark of writing by someone who has put thought into the subject.

I wrote a post that was widely misunderstood. So, I responded with the style of (1), (2), (3), etc. to say JUST what I was claiming and to support my claims in a way that even a good present or would be Google employee could understand! So, yes, I'm "pedantic": Considering the complaints about what I posted, the 'pedantry' was, unfortunately, necessary.

"Google is an engineering company". My Ph.D. is in engineering!

Google should be a good place for people with my qualifications. That it is not is Google's failure, not mine.

For where I would be "better off working", I agree that I have better alternatives than Google, especially now if not when I had a Google interview.

My main point is nothing like your objections to my posts: Instead, my main point is just that the Google recruiting process is a mess. I am not the subject here; Google's recruiting process is! Making me the subject is confused based on some emotional instead of rational reactions. So, come on, hard nosed, highly rational, detail-oriented software 'engineers': Stay on the subject -- Google's recruiting, not me!
