In EE grad school, I had a prof with a PhD in geophysics from MIT.

In a course Adv EE math, I had to go to the chalk board and erase 50+% of his writings and correct!

He got stuck on the indicial shift in the method of Frobenius!

He was a great guy otherwise...we played tennis!

Maybe he could not think on his feet!

Science should be devoid of politics and politicians!

Who is like the hacker in "The Score" with Deniro and Norton?
