He killed someone. It was criminal. Real or not, you should NEVER, EVER monkey with equipment or unplug a control unit without asking permission. If we assume it was not real, and power in equalled power out, it was still high powered device under the control of the electronics. Even a fake machine is dangerous if you suddenly disconnect the controls. It is like reaching over from the passenger seat and turning off the ignition in a car driving on a highway. Feynman was sometimes an arrogant, dismissive, unobservant jerk. He sure was in this case. - Jed
