That was just a joke.  I happen to disagree with that part of formal paper
writing.  I don't understand why one should exclude oneself if one writes a
paper.  After all, you're the one writing it!  But anyway, I formally
concede.  The victory is yours.  Po moyemu, "tho" hasn't been accepted since
slavery times, but do what you want: It's not my language.
