"No need, before it's published in 'New Discoveries in Mathematics and Physics', I plan to use this paper as reference material within the institute. I just had a chat with Professor Dugan and I think some of his points make sense. For now, I don't want to put too much pressure on the students; the paper can wait until they have mastered the basic knowledge,"
Edward Witten was stunned.
What kind of twisted logic had Roth Dugan shared with Qiao Ze?
Was this really the same person who hid 'mines' in his papers and treated his peers with cold indifference during conferences?
This was gentle to the point of making one want to cry, wasn't it?
Who had ever heard of a mentor holding back their own world-class paper to relieve pressure from their students?
Had he gone mad?
