an enjoyable thing is watching when two academics are talking in the first tone and then one of them sees a technical opening to just out and out murder his interlocutor and he pivots to second stance and goes jailhouse on their ass

There's a fine distinction that non-academics may not recognize, where going jailhouse on a *claim* is not taken as an attack on the *claimant*; you're supposed to have murdered your own ego already in that sense. At least in math, anyway.
