Grigorenko and Donna Lockery’s contribution, the smart-stupid relevance is haphazardly tacked on to the introduction and conclusion, but remains entirely absent from the interceding paragraphs. Similarly, Elizabeth J. Austin and Ian J.

Snezhnevsky dismissed the results as a "misdiagnosis," a consequence...
