Perhaps you could address your reminder about guidelines to the person who replied to a tactful comment with 'What on earth is happening at American universities [...]'. The only original point of that comment was to generate an emotional reaction.

I replied by pointing out that said trope doesn't apply to me and citing my preference for a data driven approach, a polite rejoinder which was rudely rebuffed.

Let's follow another guideline [0]:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Barrin92 brought up American universities where it wasn't necessary. I get it. Let's not dismiss their comment because they brought that up. I looked past that and I am trying to keep this on topic by discussing the point they made.

Does the paper you linked say anything about using the words "light" and "dark"?

How do we determine which definitions of "dark" we should use in a professional context?

I think this topic is important to discuss and I am genuinely curious how you and others would address the points in my previous comment.
