To imply that she accused Feynman of cruelty because she enjoyed getting spanked sexually and then 'changed her mind' is not "asking the dangerous questions"... it is just weird and uncalled for. You're not doing a hero's work, you're just being mildly chauvinistic, and on top of it all trivializing sexual abuse.
Be critical of the basis of her claims all you like. I encourage scepticism. But learn from the others in this thread and keep the criticism relevant and appropriate.
You're not doing a hero's work either. Don't claim to be instructing me with shame.
Why encourage silence in the scenarios where it's safe to conjecture. They're both dead, and history is written. Recognize the lack of detail now, and where there's an opportunity for misdirection. When no one discusses the safe scenarios, we are less prepared for the hazardous ones.
