Hyphens: stigma of stupidity
Hyphenated names are a sure sign of idiocy.
Fine example:
Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch, from Washington State University, believes that a method for quantifying the probability of life existing on an exoplanet will become increasingly important as more and more exoplanets are discovered.
Meanwhile, a pair of postdoctoral researchers at Penn State have been wondering if we have looked in enough places to ensure that no extraterrestrial artifacts exist in our solar system. "The vastness of space, combined with our limited searches to date, implies that any remote unpiloted exploratory probes of extraterrestrial origin would likely remain unnoticed," suggest Jacob Haqq-Misra ...
ENOUGH! Those alleged planets will never be reachable. The nearest one is many light years away, which means we couldn't even communicate with their inhabitants if they spoke English.
In other words, those planets DO NOT EXIST except as ill-considered replacements for a hated God in the satanic-imaginations of these hyphenated-idiots. Thus no further-details are needed. We don't need an index of their inhabitability, we don't need an estimate of their density. None of it.
I'm especially-disgusted that both of these hyphens are working at universities where I formerly-worked.
FACTS WILL GET YOU THROUGH TIMES OF NO THEORY BETTER THAN THEORY WILL GET YOU THROUGH TIMES OF NO FACTS.
