Richard Dawkins writes in a favorable review of Alan Sokal and
Jean Bricmont's Intellectual Impostures:
Suppose you are an intellectual impostor with nothing to
say, but with strong ambitions to succeed in academic life, collect a coterie
of reverent disciples and have students around the world anoint your pages with
respectful yellow highlighter. What kind of literary style would you cultivate?
Not a lucid one, surely, for clarity would expose your lack of content.
