...complaining about their diligence. Our complaint is that if they want to stop the dishonest, they should be more efficient about it--there is still room for improvement. For example, they still have no defense against students who have mastered the Morse code or a private brand of semaphore. They need screens, sound proofing, and cryptanalysts. They have shifty eyes, but not enough of them. They should also be more suspicious--indeed, they should all wear steel-rimmed spectacles and sinister expressions.

...minor complaint-your failure to point out that the mystic-sounding terms Id, Ego and Superego are just so much Anglo-American psychiatric jabberwocky for simple concepts. In his native German, Freud used understandable terms: es, ich and überich-literally translatable as the it, the I and the beyond-I. This kind of linguistic lily-gilding by Freudian exponents is the stuff that cultism is made...
