I am not 100% sure – but my guess is that it is intentionally humourous and human written.

That would make it consistent with other satirical points that have been made in the past about statistical significance, data mining, the purpose of a prori theory, and unnecessary jargon. That fact it can capture all of those things in a short abstract is superb 😀

If I was to sudden discover that this is a serious paper I would start to shuffle very uncomfortably!

Regarding the side node, without having access to the journal I am undecided whether the article is:
* Intentionally humourous, human-written
* Computer auto-generated
* Serious human-written

Can you enlighten me?

Cheers,

Mark
