No, I was talking about you. The interviewer seemed to slightly misunderstand Feynman's hesitation in the beginning, but then he was willing to listen and apparently saw the value in Feynman's response (otherwise this wouldn't have aired the way it did). You on the other hand are the one taking offense.
- chm 11y agoThen you are quite mistaken in your assumptions about me and should consider revising the basis on which you made them.
- simoncion 11y agoYou have hidden information that was only revealed much later in this conversation. One cannot be expected to divine this information. This thread would have turned out better if you had stated something to the effect of "I have watched this BBC programme many, many times and I have always felt that Feynman's minute of Socratic lead-up to his answer to the interviewer's question about magnetism is inappropriate and rude." in your original post. I doubt that many folks will read the comment you made to me in which you reveal that your opinions have been informed by multiple viewings of the source material in its entirety.
