I think of you as one of the guys who has transcended the academic 'personality'.
Didn't even mean to imply that most well-known sabermetricians have that personality.  But a lot of the articles that we read, have that air about them...  We do not see this on Mariner Central or from other posters on SSI, and personally I don't feel that Sullivan's work has a problem there either.

Agree also that a particular article can sound as though it's a work sample, or a paper for a grade, without that being the author's motivation.  As we say, some of it is simply conditioning.

My broad intent here wasn't rebuke.  It was a good-natured reminder that sabermetrics, The James Way, provides a lifetime of satisfying intellectual pursuit.  :- )
