anyone else read a paragraph of academic prose and then stare at it blankly with no idea what you just read because it’s so clogged with jargon

Sometimes I want to find the author, throw the textbook at them and scream ‘this entire page could be condensed into a single sentence, and would make more sense that way, you waffling tosspot!’

“It bullies the reader into granting that, since one cannot figure out what is going on, there must be something significant going on.”
