      In grad school, I was talking to an Econ professor and mentioned that I had been reading a paper from another economist. He said that he’d edited a book chapter the other guy had written and found it so incomprehensibly wrong that he didn’t know where to start lol

      You then steal their TAs, track tenure, and bang their daughter, or son if that’s your thing.
