In that last part there, what did he say? I've noticed that a certain
biostatistician that I occasionally work with always talks in similar
cryptobabble with me.
Pick any current molecular biology journal in the library. Look at an
issue that's about a year old. Inspect the pages: it will be clear that
many people have read articles in the journal.
Now wander over to the MATH section. Pick ANY math journal, any year,
any language, any area of math. The pages will be as pristine as the
day they were printed.
Think about that.
