In science, that is totally irrelevant. Not even part of the discussion. In Feynman's words, "It doesn't matter who it was, what his name is," etc. The question is whether it proves out with experiment.

Curry has walked away from academia specifically because of what can only be called corruption. Now, she didn't call it that - presumably she wanted to maintain a workable atmosphere. But that is what it is.

There will not be any resolution of these issues until the models are strengthened (which will require eliminating of the corruption) and there is more, real experimentation rather than repetitive runs of models until you get the outcome you want.

Curry has described at length the problem with models and the obvious flaws in the approach. She points out, "All the models seem to agree in the 20th century, but when you move into the 21st century, they all diverge."

That, CJ, is Feynman's failure to agree with the experiment.

The great Freeman Dysan understands it: The data is pretty good now, but the models are still a problem. This is a great physicist who has been smeared because he can see the problem.

If the models agree in the 20th century but not in the 21st, they're wrong. Period.
