The friends I have in academia say that their PhD professors tell them to use "ego mode" or papers won't pass review and be accepted. I'm with you though. And it's not about specific jargon of a field, it's just wankery. Most lawyers do the same thing and you need to get extremely good ones to write good contracts in clear language.

Yeah I'm sure that's true. It'd be nice to be able to opt out though while you're in the first pass research phase.
