I think the refrain: “Never judge a book by it’s cover” applies here.

Our brains tend to associate good looking with well-researched when this isn’t always the case, hence the refrain quoted above.

So, if someone goes through the trouble of using a cumbersome typesetting tool like Latex to format a paper, perhaps they have made an important contribution that is worth setting aside 15-30 mins of your time to digest the thesis in its entirety.
