I quite agree; even the quearmark of hackery. Of course, it's quite
true. A classical example is Donald Glaser's paper on the bubble
chamber, which was rejected everywhere in 1952 (in one case because he
used the word 'bubblet', which wasn't in the dictionary used by the
editors of a very well-known journal) and won him a Nobel in 1960.

Of course, this was almost predicted by Shakespeare, thus proving his
appeal to occult forces in the Caledonian Play. (;-)
