"Research papers are detailed records of how effort and time - even lives - have been spent, and a knowledgeable person can by reading a research paper judge the quality of the 'minds and hands' of the authors."
"It has often been said / there's so much to be read, / you never can cram / all those words in your head. / So the writer who breeds / more words than he needs / is making a chore / for the reader who reads."
