I commented to someone the other day that one of the advantages of getting older is it expands my view of women who I find acceptably attractive. I thought this was a sign of my maturity. He assured me it's more related to no longer having the sharpest of eyes.
Ah! The silver lining!
(Yes, I've been called a pig and a dog. Both are considered to be intelligent, as well as tasty in different cultures.)

I reckon that Tadit Dash is working for this company, and IIRC they give employees paid hours working on CP Articles.

Understand what? 
Just report the article and move on. It is an exercise in futility to try and understand why someone does what they do. It is a waist of brain power.

Does that mean that dieting makes you stupid?

I guess so.
Common sense then dictates that a diet high in bacon fat makes you smarter.

Explains a lot about this place.
And thinking about it, I put on weight when I gave up smoking, so maybe getting smarter increases your girth as well...any idea how you go about getting grants for research towards an Ig Nobel Prize?

The more effort it takes to move, the more you sit still thinking of ways to expend less effort.
I think I'll write a self-help book based on that theory; it'll sell millions* in the US.

The brain consists mainly of saturated fat, so that would make sense.

In Nagy and DD's case, extremely saturated.

No, a terrible article is below-the-belt of brain power.

It could be the same syndrome suffered by people who have to "make important points" in meetings even if they have nothing to say.
"I gotta be seen by the boss!" and all that cr@p.

It is most likely explained by some of the other posts, although it may just be immaturity.
I can understand the desire to be published, we all have at least a little bit of the desire to self promote, to be liked and respected. I'd love to write an article, but I'm a generalist with many on here whose skills outweigh mine in specific areas. Even where I really know my stuff, it has already been adequately covered here. A less mature mind might well be tempted to cobble together something, anything, to say "look at me, look at me!"
Unfortunately we look and then laugh, (possibly creating a sociopath in the process, but - hey ho!), thus doing exactly the opposite of what the poster wanted (maybe driving them to ever greater heights of absurdity [or going postal!] )
