- I am not in disagreement with you that articles should be complete and
- include all the necesssary information to justify the article, and to allow
- replication of the research. I also don't believe that lots of words do a
- thesis make no matter what you are trying to say. I guess I am not sure of what
- you are saying. I do agree that when a psych text makes a statement, then the
- argument should be justified, and that we don't have to use a lot of words just
- to say a little thing. My big argument was with folks who use jargon, or just
- use big words for the sake of making what they are writing sound like something
- spectacu;a
-
- r, and then we'll think they're smart and look up to them. Fooey. I
- think all articles and texts should be written for the purpose of educating.
