| Aug 17, 2020 at 19:03 | comment | added | swisscheese | @AndreasBlass - Good points. I wrote it in haste, but yes - both of your niggles hold weight; thanks! %"henning -- reinstate Monica", I mean every time I assert something myself, or give my own opinion - or should I write papers like an academic "router", simply vectoring off to other papers? %Anonymous Physicist - You are right; I should, but they have many other students to help, and are not super responsive (I did get instructions, but my question relates not to any one assignment; rather, to a fundamental misunderstanding I believe I have). Thanks all, for your replies. | |
| Aug 17, 2020 at 17:18 | comment | added | Andreas Blass | Two things bother me about your example text, but neither is what you're asking about. (1) Shouldn't "up to absolute zero" be "down to absolute zero"? (2) "This paper" could mean (and I think is intended to mean) the paper in which this example text appears, or it could mean the paper [2] that was just mentioned. I'd write either "The present paper argues" or (preferably in my view but anathema to some folks) "We argue". | |
