I don't have much to add, only a few small comments:

Depending on the paper and context, it's not necessarily bad when a
paper has no equations. I look forward to the day when non-English
(which is where I suspect most of this author's work resides)
scientific abstracts and papers are easily available on the Web.
(Until that day arrives, I will ask Serafino, he's many times more
years of graduate theoretical quantum physics than I have)

I don't think so.
April Fools is many places (I think its origin was in France
with poisson d'avril in the Middle Ages), but today, I don't think
Argentinians have an April's Fool Day. At least this web note leads
me to think that:

Fish (!!) Translation, In English:
"The Americans have the 1 of April like the equivalent one of our 28
of December."
