Yes, great article and actually an astonishingly low amount of awkward-dad bragging by this particular author’s standards —- the closest he got was slipping in how he was ALSO at the Institute for Advanced Study “in Princeton” when Otto Neugebauer was there in the 1980s. And he probably considers himself a peer of Isaac Newton but hey, don’t we all from time to time?
Maybe he’s been reading the HN discussions of his articles and decided to tone down the boasting. One can hope.
