“IT HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN”
… I didn’t look up the original reference.
“A DEFINITE TREND IS EVIDENT”
… These data are practically meaningless.
“WHILE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE DEFINITE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS…”
… An unsuccessful experiment, but I still hope to get it published.
“THREE OF THE SAMPLES WERE CHOSEN FOR DETAILED STUDY”
… The other results didn’t make any sense.
“TYPICAL RESULTS ARE SHOWN”
… This is the prettiest graph.
“THESE RESULTS WILL BE IN A SUBSEQUENT REPORT”
… I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded.
“IN MY EXPERIENCE…”
… Once
“IN CASE AFTER CASE…”
… Twice
“IN A SERIES OF CASES…”
… Thrice
“IT IS BELIEVED THAT…”
… I think
“IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT…”
… A couple of others think so, too.
“CORRECT WITHIN AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE”
… Wrong
“ACCORDING TO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS”
… Rumor has it.
“A STATISTICALLY-ORIENTED PROJECTION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE FINDINGS”
… A wild guess.
“A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF OBTAINABLE DATA”
… Three pages of notes were obliterated when I knocked over a glass of red wine.
“IT IS CLEAR THAT MUCH ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PHENOMENON OCCURS”
… I don’t have a clue what this all means
“AFTER ADDITIONAL STUDY BY MY COLLEAGUES…”
… They don’t understand it either.
“THANKS ARE DUE TO JOE BLANK FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE EXPERIMENT AND TO DARLA ADAMS FOR VALUABLE DISCUSSIONS”
… Mr. Blank did the work and Ms. Adams explained to me what it meant.
“A HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT AREA FOR EXPLORATORY STUDY”
… A totally useless topic selected by my committee.
“IT IS HOPED THAT THIS STUDY WILL STIMULATE FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN THIS FIELD”
… I quit.
