Pour fêter ma 100ème note de bas de page (eh oui, m'sieurs-dames, j'en suis réduite à ça...), un texte qui me fait vraiment rire issu d'un groupe Facebook.
A brief guide to scientific literature:
- It has long been known == I haven’t bothered to check the references.
-It is known == I believe.
-It is believed == I think.
-It is generally believed == My colleagues and I think.
-There has been some discussion == Nobody agrees with me.
-It can be shown == Take my word for it.
-It is proven == It agrees with something mathematical.
-Of great theoretical importance == I find it interesting.
-Of great practical importance == This justifies my employment.
-Of great historical importance == This ought to make me famous.
-Some samples were chosen for study == The others didn't make sense.
-Typical results are shown == The best results are shown.
-Correct within order of magnitude == Wrong.
-The values were obtained empirically == The values were obtained by accident.
-The results are inconclusive == The results seem to disprove my hypothesis.
-Additional work is required == Someone else can work on the details.
-It might be argued that == I have a good answer to this objection.

Ah ah ah !
Comment ça ?
Je vais pas bien ?
Vous croyez ?
Bon, je viens d'apprendre ce qu'étaient des "scabieuses" et des "poutargues de mulets".
C'est cool en fait de faire un master 1 de littérature : ça change la vie !
