And why is that Professor?  Because you are at a total loss coping with
some original thought?  The "as hominem" is evident without saying it.
"How dare you criticize 'holy writ' with unanswerable insight?"
Obviously, good A+ students just recite precisely what was taught to
them by rote, like a tape recorder, and that will surely earn a PhD, and
create a new generation professor who will carry on the tradition of
unresolvable Social Problems.
