made the following comment on the referenced subject in an email to
Sarfatti:

group think to the max in journals.
Being eccentric, but informed is a plus here. Frankly you would have

question and answer period the lecturers get put up to each day after
about six p.m. You should have seen the stuff I asked . Well I think
you have a few ideas, but what would get me repromanded in APS meeting
venues for rocking the boat spurred on hour long highly philosophical
debates which got extremely heated."
