I'm not sure that snowflakeuniverse is actually teaching the course. In the OP he wrote:

It's probably a case of the teacher saying "And now for something completely different" and turning the floor over to Mr. Kulick for one session.  |
However he later writes

Very true, and the reason why snowflakeuniverse needs to present his ideas somewhat higher up the academic food-chain.  |
Agreed.
