Oh, some are, you know. I had a worry about this yesterday, writing about a historian who was at the College de France. What if some admin has no idea whether this is an 'assertion of notability' or not? I'm not going to demean myself by adding 'the world-famous and prestigious academic institution in Paris'. But I do wonder whether some people would think I should, in order to be asserting a bit louder.
