| previous thing, here's some boxes and lines that really mean
| nothing in this context, some standardized statistical
| distribution with my dots scattered about... there's a fairly
| standard presentation that one could give with almost just a
| few made up payload words for your thing and it would apply to
| almost anything.
|
| I particularly remember in one of my machine learning classes
| where we had to give project presentations, the degree to which
| you could almost substitute the slide decks for each other and
| it would have been hard to notice.
|
| It doesn't mean that they have no content necessarily, merely
| that there is some ground to riff on here.
|
| I particularly like the presentation as one of the few bits of
| humor I know where you can make a two year old laugh and you
| can make a veteran professor laugh, and everyone in between,
| yet they are all laughing about different things at incredibly
| different levels of intellectual sophistication. The
| presentation is truly a humor masterpiece.

| It's a commentary that scientific papers are inscrutable and a

| is brilliant, a masterpiece.
|
| I'd always thought it was an example of how peer reviewed
| journals are scammy. That this paper got accepted as peer
| reviewed science of some sort. But while of course peer
| reviewed science isn't objective (there are studies on this,
| peer reviewed naturally), this apparently isn't that.
|
| It dates to 2003. I'm so surprised to see new commentary on
| this (blogs and what not) in 2021 and even later. I mean actual
| commentary and attempt to derive some insight from it on
| independent blogs/journals. Not just repeated link farming.

| I understand your critique. I guess I was also wondering if

| From Bing/ChatGPT: The purpose of this paper is not clear from
| the current web page context, which consists of mostly the word
| "chicken" repeated in various ways. However, based on web search
| results, it seems that this paper is a *humorous presentation* by
| Doug Zongker, a computer scientist from the University of
| Washington1. He created this paper to mock the format and style
| of scientific papers and presentations, and to demonstrate how
| little content and meaning can be conveyed by using jargon and
| graphs3. The paper was presented at the AAAS humor session in
| 200713, and has been viewed online by many people who find it
| amusing23.
