So this just happened
February 24, 2022
I was on a video call with Matt, talking about a project he’s working on that involves Haplocanthosaurus. A lot of his recent project involve Haplocanthosaurus which is … an OK sauropod. I mean, it’s no brachiosaur. So this is how the conversation went:
Mike: I have bad news for you, dude. Haplocanthosaurus is only one or two nodes away from being a camarasaur.
Matt: Sure, but Haplocanthosaurus is really weird, and Camarasaurus is just basic.
Mike: Your mom’s basic.
Matt: Your mom’s one or two nodes away from being a camarasaur.

Whenever I write a complicated document, such as my submission to the Select Committee on open access, I get Matt to do an editing pass before I finalise it. That’s always worthwhile, but I have to be careful not to just blindly hit the Accept All Changes button.
