| Jun 12, 2012 at 11:47 | comment | added | rcollyer | @celtschk prior to the edit, that was all there was. Lacking the extra commentary, there were several ways to interpret it, including as an indictment against Mathematica. | |
| Jun 12, 2012 at 10:57 | comment | added | celtschk | @rcollyer: It's a letter written to Wolfram. It's not a letter talking about Mathematica. It's a letter from Feynman criticising Wolfram's attitude towards other people. I can't see how that relates in any way to Mathematica. I've heard that Newton was a terrible person, but that doesn't change that he was one of the greatest scientists ever, and it certainly doesn't invalidate his scientific achievements. So even without the clarification, I cannot see the slightest way how this post could be an indictment against Mathematica. | |

| Jun 11, 2012 at 21:18 | comment | added | rcollyer | At this point, this reads like it is indictment against Mathematica itself, so I downvoted it. | |
| Jun 11, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | István Zachar | I fail to see the relevance here. Could you please explain it? Is it the case that being a homework-nazi (i.e. eliminating HW questions) cause people to do more administrative than the productive work? This might be a valid argument, but without any policies of administration this site surely would be a worse place. | |
