The same could be said for the phrase/applicants that OP was blasting in the first place.
He wasn't blasting the phrase. He was blasting the use of the phrase in a professional essay. There is a difference between those two that you are either not seeing or refusing to see because of either your assumptions about the OP or intense feelings you have on the subject. That happens sometimes with topics we feel strongly about. OP has in fact said a number of times that he is not expressing his feelings on the phrase itself (and actually I happen to know that the assumptions you're making about him are incorrect), but that using those phrases in a professional application is unprofessional. And it is.
