Criticism

In the Mudd elevator, en route to my evening class...

- I think that your graduate work is very... uhm... negative.
- What do you mean? I'm not building the a-bomb here, you know.
- Well, it seems like you much rather discredit somebody, or prove that something is incorrect, instead of coming up with a new solution.
- You don't even know me!
- I've heard. You are very... uhm... destructive.
- You need people like me!
- Yes, but we generally try to keep things happy and pleasant around here.
