It's easier to write that much if you are just making stuff up...

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Successful writers generally don't just make stuff up. They do plenty of research.

You can't just compare creative writing to writing a paper.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

True, but you can compare writing 4000 novels a year with being able to write 80 papers a few pages long in 2.5 and say that both are possible.

He didn't write all those papers. He put his name on them. He also finds it worth his time to publicly argue with a pig in shit, so there's that.

The writing of the paper is generally a trivial part of the work. Each technical paper is supposed to be a succinct summary of months or years of technical work.
