if you want to be taken seriously in technical discourse, then you need to rein in the pontification.

I don't disagree, but I also don't think this is correct. There are plenty of verbose mathematicians out there who spend too much time expounding on the philosophical merits of their approach, and they're taken seriously.

You'll excuse me if I don't name names, though.
