However, one may wonder about the average quality of the papers. If he had laid of the drugs, he might have produced just the top 10% of the papers that he wrote under influence. One could argue that would actually have been a better result.
- fragmede 16y agoThat depends on your opinion of his work. Did the bottom 10% of his papers (under the influence) move the field of mathematics forwards? Perhaps. Did the bottom 90% of his papers move math forwards? I'd argue yes.
- WilliamLP 16y agoIf productivity is measured by Erdos number, they moved math forward immensely.
