Using these phrases to prove a point would earn a college freshman a failing grade in a basic composition 101 paper. Words and phrases like these are called "weasel words," sometimes used by college freshman to bolster an otherwise weak assertion. College students are taught that a well-written argument will stand on its own merits without the need to resort to empty persuasion tactics.
And any college student that uses the phrase, "scholars have said," in a paper without providing detailed documentation of the sources would be reprimanded for sloppy scholarship. -
