Amazing. Stealing the spotlight from High School students is really quite something.
I'm glad that Tao has caught on. As an academic it is easy to assume integrity from others but there is no such thing in software big business.

I'm not an academic, but from the outside looking in on academia I don't think academics should be so quick to assume integrity either
There seems to be a lot of perverse incentives in academia to cheat, cut corners, publish at all costs, etc
