Rick, thanks for posting the files. I love the MMY and

Nandkishore story. It reminds me of the story of one

time MMY was at MIU in a small meeting and suddenly he

turned to the woman assigned to take notes and asked

her to explain how she was taking notes. She described

to him what she was doing and he angerly said, who

told you to do it that way? She replied, you did! MMY

said he had not told her to do anything like that at

all. She insisted that he had and he kept on saying he

had not. She was finally on the verge of tears and she

gave up and said that he hadn't told her to do that

way. MMY said, very good and told her to continue

doing it the way he had told her, just as she had

described. 


This is very interesting, esp. given the recent discussion on questionable research. What would a researcher, who was a die-hard student, do if they were told by their teacher "this is the way it is", even though it contradicted their findings...? Very interesting.
