I know this article is about Strang from the context of his retirement a few weeks ago, but the title is clickbait.

Given other trending headlines, I thought he’d died. The past tense thing. Glad it was just a celebration!

I guessed this was about Strang just from the title! I hadn't heard about his retirement.

I saw the title, and thought "the only person I can think of that this applies to is Gilbert Strang". Imagine my surprise when it was actually him, when I haven't thought of him or linear algebra for fifteen years.
