> rhetoric about needing to copy-paste big parts from other countries distracts from how achievable it is

If you have an idea at work and a coworker brings up a caveat that you missed, do you dismiss it as rhetoric? If you are to be worried about rhetoric, it should be about how the general public talks about policy like it's sports whereas corporations talk about policy like it's work.

It would fine if it were just internet comments. However, this article is talking about a paper from one of the most prestigious university in the world and yet it's devoid of meaningful analysis. It literally does the "copy-pasting" that I'm talking about.
