Good Thing He's Joking. This Chun fellow could be very dangerous if we didn’t all know that academic blurbs are written by university administrations and forced on unwilling shy and retiring academics. That said, I genuinely believe that some of my colleagues really are the leading authorities on certain things. But better not to name names…. [Discourse.net]

hmm, i get a fair amount of 'expert on' stuff sent my way. not as much as other's i'm sure. but then i'm not really an expert on anything per se, but i do have some knowledge scattered about, mixed with trivia, and nonsense that tends to help people resolve their questions.

but then i do not think that this is a joke, if a professor isn't an expert in something, then what are they teaching?
