Based on Their Entire Body of Work from the Season Throughout the Entire Year!

By -
I've commented before on this annoying phenomenon, but it's getting worse: now we have people writing "their body of work from the season," when "body of work" is already just a trendy, pretentious synonym for "season." Here you go:

"Adams said that officials are selected, much like teams for the NCAA tournament, on the basis of their body of work from the season..."

Now, this could have been written, "on the basis of their entire season," which is four words shorter and conveys no less information.

But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
