         | saying in the presentation version:
         | https://youtu.be/yL_-1d9OSdk. The same charts in every
         | presentation; up and to the right, my thing higher than
         | 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
         | slave to form, over intelligible content. I find it a weak
         | argument. The author's conference presentation of it, though,
         | 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.

       | 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.
