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. If I saw them as my teacher, I'd give up on the teacher. If I saw  them as my Master, I'd adjust my thinking. That's exactly what the people who drank the kool-aid in Guyana did. Scary.
