Good point. FYI for future:

valorative is a hyper-fun word, but most folks -- even in academe -- would probably phrase that "Stupidity is a value-laden term" instead.

'Anecdotic' is the wrong form for English, use "anecdocal" instead.

'As for today' would probably come across better to an English reader if re-phrased "at the moment."


You really have an amazing grasp of the English language. Do you speak it anywhere near as well as your write?
