The author does not like the idea of making tougher requirements if basic subjects are being neglected
Explanation:
It is false that academic arguments should be written in first-person perspective. Nothing should be written in first-person perspective when it comes to academic writing.

another example of an open compound would be "peanut butter"
First person
It takes a bit of reading into the passage to see what point of view it is, because there is little indication in the first paragraph. The first indication that it is written in first person is the use of "us" at the end of that first paragraph. Then, in the subsequent paragraphs the reader sees that the author uses "I" several times, indicating first person perspective.
