| Sep 5, 2019 at 19:36 | comment | added | Robert Furber | @TakahiroWaki Thurston actually said that it was hard to find the time to write up what he could prove, not that he deliberately didn't write down theorems. He also said that there was a huge "expansion factor" from his own proofs to proofs that other people could use. | |

| Mar 16, 2013 at 15:29 | comment | added | Lee Mosher | From reading the article linked in the answer of HW, one sees that the statement of what the OP remembers having read or heard, that "Thurston decided to stop writing down his theorems in order not to repel mathematicians from his field", is indeed not correct. | |
