And if you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably seen some visceral dislike to TV Ogi in some quarters. To some degree, he had this coming. He can protest all he wants that his interviews were unfairly edited, but what did he expect with soundbites like “Brad Rutter does math like a little girl”? That they’d leave a money quote like that on the cutting-room floor? Did he actually end that sentence with, “…if, that is, that little girl is a young Emmy Noether, the mathematician who did such groundbreaking algebraic work” or “…or a little boy, because girls can do anything boys can do today”? If so, I agree–that was an unfair edit.
