gollark: Well, you actually have a specific target, so I'll look.
gollark: What?
gollark: It's about as useful as the contents of my "random files" folder, which contains everything from zipped backups of my pastebin to some random textbooks Springer temporarily made free to some papers which looked interesting to HTML file archives of interesting web content.
gollark: There's not even a "README" explaining why any of the stuff in it is there and providing an overview, this *is not readable*.
gollark: If you want anyone to actually evaluate whatever claims you're making, actually explain them rather than just dumping a random trashpile on them.
