[pessimizer]

I have no idea how this was published or why it has generated discussion. The "surprising" discovery that the author made is that you don't just write something all the way through without stopping, you go back and edit it.

I always thought that even very small children knew that. If someone wasn't aware of this for years even after many attempts, I wouldn't trust them to do any sort of research.

Somebody should have put a red line through every word of this.

disclosure: I used the science of editing this comment after writing it.
