What are valid as accumulator? Are all accumulation schema required to have synthetic tokens instead of organic? Why isn’t the size of a population an indicator of its economic value?

“One thing seems certain: write as simply and plainly as possible and it’s more likely you’ll be thought of as intelligent.”

A professor at Princeton reporting on his work about reader perception of the writers intelligence. I wonder is there any thing or effort that isn’t _as possible_
I take his advice to mean,

use phrases and words most often used by others,i.e., cliches.

I’d rewrite his comment this way (avoiding thus, so that you think I’m more intelligent)

One thing seems certain: write as simply and plainly as possible and it’s more likely you’ll be thought of as intelligent.

Should a teacher be able to answer a question?

I am following several discussions among university level teachers, and am surprised that they are so prone to copying others work. Also, they are unable to arrive at answers to fundamental questions. Ones included in texts from their bookstore.

I doubt that if a student answered with all three possibilities to a question the teacher would accept it at exam time. Maybe with degrees come too many degrees.
