IT HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN… |
I haven't bothered to look up the original reference. |
|
IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO ASSUME… |
If you believe this, you'll believe anything. |
|
OF GREAT THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE |
Interesting to me. |
|
WHILE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE DEFINITE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS… |
The experiments didn't work out, but I figured I could get publicity out of it. |
|
THREE OF THE SAMPLES WERE CHOSEN FOR DETAILED STUDY |
The results on the others didn't make sense, and were ignored. |
|
TYPICAL RESULTS ARE SHOWN |
The best results are shown. |
|
PRESUMABLY AT LONGER TIMES… |
I didn't take the time to find out. |
|
THESE RESULTS WILL BE REPORTED AT A LATER DATE |
I might get around to this sometime. |
|
THE MOST RELIABLE VALUES ARE THOSE OF JONES |
He was a student/supervisor of mine. |
|
IT IS BELIEVED THAT… |
I think. |

A guy in a bar once agreed with me. |
|
IT IS WIDESPREAD KNOWLEDGE THAT... |
Two guys in a bar agreed with me. |
|
IT IS UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED THAT... |
The bartender agreed too |
|
IT MIGHT BE ARGUED THAT… |
I have such a good answer for this objection that I shall now raise it. |
|
IT IS CLEAR THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING… |
I don't understand. |
|
CORRECT WITH IN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE |
Wrong. |
|
IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT THIS WORK WILL STIMULATE FURTHER WORK IN THE FIELD |
This paper is not very good, but neither are any of the others on this miserable subject. |
|
THANKS ARE DUE TO X FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE EXPERIMENT AND TO Y FOR VALUABLE DISCUSSIONS |
X did the work, and Y explained it to me. |
|
OF GREAT PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE… |
I can get some mileage out of it. |
|
IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE DEFINITIVE ANSWERS… |
The experiment was negative, but at least I can publish the data somewhere. |
|
THESE INVESTIGATIONS PROVED HIGHLY REWARDING… |
My grant is going to be renewed. |
|
FASCINATING WORK... |
Work by a member of our group. |
|
OF DOUBTFUL SIGNIFICANCE... |
it was done by someone else. |
|
TRIVIAL... |
It took me a whole week to figure it out. |
|
DATA HAVE BEEN NORMALISED... |
You wouldn't believe the numbers I got. |
|
STATISTICAL ANALYSES REVEAL... |
I had to lie a bit. |
|
DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURES WERE IMPLEMENTED... |
I had to lie a lot. |
|
I SHOULD LIKE TO THANK… |
Please put in a good word for me with the examiners. |
