Capítulo 123: Chapter 122: The Disadvantage of Being Uncultured

In Fang Zheng's view, the entirety of "When the Cicadas Cry," when assessed from a realistic standpoint, was entirely unscientific and far from magical.

The reason was simple: those researching the so-called Hinamizawa Syndrome, according to Fang Zheng, were mostly incompetent.

First came Hifumi Takano, who proposed the Hinamizawa Syndrome; he was merely a professor, and an ordinary one at that, with no notable reputation in the academic community, which is another reason why his theories were ridiculed by the experts. Though the story attributes this mockery to directives from an organization behind the experts, it boiled down to his lack of scholarly merit and absence of reputation. If you had Stephen Hawking saying something casually, who would dare to refute him so carelessly? Definitely not a chance.
