<p>the first paper I read took me like 40 hours and I skipped the semantics section because it looked so scary, however the authors did a pretty good job making things clear in the other sections </p><p>I feel like that kind of works: you do need a big scary section with all the details, but I should be able to get 90% of your work through the rest of the paper. thank u for doing the work, someone verified that the work was correct, now I will simply ignore it</p>
