“Occasionally, I recognize what I call the squid technique: the author is doubtful about his facts or his reasoning and retreats behind a protective cloud of ink”.
Doug Savile

I have noticed that, in manuscripts sent to the journal, Discussion is the section that most effort costs to most authors. So much so, that some publishers even reject a paper for not having a good discussion section. In a scientific manuscript, a structure based on the IMRaD system must be followed: Introduction, Methodology, Results and Discussion. The discussion section is as important as all others, and perhaps even more, since it is in this section where the author interprets and validates his results, beyond statistics.
