New Software for Doctoral Students

A classmate and I were discussing the truly horrifyingly bad writing style of Academia, and came up with a new software app. Now all we need are developers who work for free. It would have a limited market since most people in graduate school actually buy into the obfuscation; it's only for the rare few that resolve to keep their grip on reality and not to drink the Koolaid.

Any bored developers out there?

From our chat session:

"Are you the square peg in a round hole?"
"The realist trying to get an advanced education?"
"Incapable of spewing random bullshit for the sake of spewing random bullshit?"
"Let us do the spewage for you!"
"Just write your coherent clear paper...run it through the Obfuscator 2000...and sit back."
"Your clear, concise, and relevant paper will be returned to you in seconds..."
"completely obfuscated and unintelligible to all but 6 people on Earth."
"And BONUS"
"The Obfuscator 2000 doesn't just remove any relevancy from your paper..."
"It bloats it up, too!"
"Two pages quickly becomes 15"
"thus satisfying any irrelevant requirements for quantity over quality."
