长难句82
Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the “odd balls” among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who work well with the team.
参考译文：如果对于标准模式的规律性和一致性对科学家来说如同在他的论文中所看似反应出的一样被渴求，那么管理层也不应因为从支持传统方法的，与团队紧密合作的研究人员中歧视怪胎而被责怪。
提示：
if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect 插入结构，可以和Nor调换顺序为：
if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect，nor is management ··· ···
