   O...kay.   
      
   However, this:   
      
   "hasn't done roughly the same homework on   
   a topic"   
      
   which for the purposes of this explanation might   
   be better rendered:   
      
   "hasn't do(ne roughly) the (same) homework on   
   a topic"   
      
   was a riff on the common phrase "do the   
   homework", which probably almost never literally   
   means doing actual from-school homework when   
   people use it. Rather, it means someone has done   
   an above-average amount of work investigating   
   something.

   What do you expect of beings stoned on the idea   
   of themselves - i.e. in the throes of full-blow   
   mental illness usually referred to as "ego"?
