      I initially didn’t do enough of that in my PhD thesis (CS, about some weird non-frame-based imaging tech that is still only of academic interest), and my committee demanded I add more stake-claiming favorable comparisons to other tech to my introduction before I submitted.

    Not that I need to tell anybody here, but if there’s an arena with bigger egos than politics, it’s academia. I’d pay money just to watch the carnage.
