  1. There is an anecdote about one Pope in the dark past being carried in his sedan chair with people chanting "Deus Es" to him, and his reply to a question about it is, "It is not true, of course, but really very pleasaant."(?) That's what the "New Einstein!" headline must be like.

  2. String Theory -> The Elon Musk [spit] Failed ..., er ..., Full Self-Driving Scam for Science The real problem is when The Actual Truth gets thrown back in your face by Evil, truly Evil, Anti-Science Crackpots in enough detail to let the "I'm Smarter Than You" Contrarians who normally hide in the dark corners, to let those intellectually corrupt jerks stymie The Effective Truth. I REALLY despise people who over-promise and under-deliver because I've seen the practical destructiveness in the project management space. I expect better from scientists, too, but when the explanations start disappearing down 'renormalization' ratholes it really makes me understand the damage scientists, as mortgage and car loan holders, do to the institution of Science.
