@texhewson I guess the “pedagogical we” makes sense for proofs and the like, but may sound strange in other contexts…

Some years ago, I decided to simply use “I” in scholarly articles when I refer to myself. What’s the point of using “this article,” “the author,” and similar contortions instead?

I now received a review that *strongly* suggests I write “this article proposes” instead of “I propose.” But I still fail to see how this would make the article better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
