what academic articles are like
academic 1’s article: these are my academic headcanons and all of the evidence for why i think i’m right and you should believe me
academic 2’s review: after reading academic 1’s article, i have come to the conclusion that academic 1 is an idiot and their headcanons are stupid
academic 1’s rebuttal: in response to academic 2’s review, i see academic 2’s points but i have elected not to agree with academic 2 as their headcanons are also bad and they are now dead to me
