| Sep 17, 2021 at 16:11 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | @BrendanGuilfoyle Depending on your opinion of the cited book, consider changing the accepted answer to this one. If nothing else, it does appear to provide evidence that is independent to the 1982 paper, which is the core of the OP. | |

Promotion committee: "How is that groundbreaking overachieving hyped research?" B.G.: "It is not, but I am preserving the knowledge of the elders." Promotion committee: "How told you that was a good idea?" B.G.: "A guy on the internet, and 24 people liked his suggestion." Promotion commitee: "We will call you, don't call us. Good bye." | |

The talk was recorded and can be viewed at: youtube.com/watch?v=VZs1UG2Wtn8 | |
