"Academic papers tend to be inherently complex due to their subjects, but many are also needlessly hard to read because of bad writing. A growing body of evidence shows that scientific papers have been getting harder to read over the last century." https://www.freethink.com/robots-ai/ai-could-rescue-scientific-papers

The oldest complete version of the *Iliad* is the “Venetus A” manuscript, produced in the 900s CE — 1600 years after the poem was first written down! Venetus A consists of the Greek text of the poem, surrounded by critical remarks, which take up most of each page.
