1. Proving once again

that if you use enough buzzwords, even total bs sounds the same as facts.
Many years ago I got an A on a philosophy paper where I ran round and round in circles for 6 pages proving my conclusion by going back to my premise and saying absolutely nothing of any substance in between. The professor who gave me an A, remarked on the paper that it was total bs but I kept up a logical train of thought throughout the whole paper.
