Edit: About an hour after I posted this, my professor reminisced about the time he met Stephen J. Gould, saying, "He was a dick. He just had his own agenda and everyone else had to get out of the way. Hewasn't interested in discussing it or taking questions. " I feel less bad about making fun of dead people now.
