"Let's put it this way: he could have done his science if he had done so in a more diplomatic way. This might have entailed more disclaimers or pretending that he was just thinking out loud."

And immediately after that I said "I agree that scientists shouldn't have to be skilled at diplomacy." 

So you told a partial truth in order to misrepresent my views.

No, I did a partial reading, you do sometimes blather on. I did not misrepresent your view.

And you did the same, used only half of my sentence.

Diplomacy has nothing to do with pretending, unless the diplomat is dishonest.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
