Writing some of my dissertation, and found this... in my own head.

[upsticks]

Moreover, especially in light of the pioneering nature of the discussion area, this means that the text becomes a mostly predictive venture, which while helpful, cannot be used as an analytical tool, unless by comparing what was thought to become with what did.

TENSE. OWIE.

I hate this kind of language - the one that makes every thing so vague and necessarily complicated; it's just to make people look good and that style had totally gone to my head :/

I read some other dissertations instead, ones that sounded much smoother on the ears, and made sense too, so that was helpful. But yes, I completely agree. Academic reading can be so painful sometimes.

TBF, I was trying to discuss what somebody had said then about what now could be like, which is difficult to explain at any rate :S
