Always easy to make fun of academic papers, but here's
a couple of ripostes in return...

============================================================

When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in
numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it,
when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is a meagre and
unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have
scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science.

                    -- William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, 1883
============================================================

Amateurs study cryptography; professionals study economics.

                    -- Allan Schiffman
============================================================

Security folks are from Mars.  Business people are from Wheaton.

                    -- Adam Shostack
