That would be interesting to read. Can you cite a specific instance?

  • I'm disappointed. I thought you would link to something where he told someone that they were wrong. Instead, he said conditionally that if the speculation pans out, then he "may be" wrong about a reason why something was observed. It wasn't a refutation, but just offering an alternative hypothesis.

    That seems like a perfectly guarded statement, self-aware of its speculative basis.
