I think that most would agree that the Science Is Vital campaign proved him wrong. So the achievement of the "Science is Vital" campaign was to deliver a petition to the UK Government asking them not to cut science funding, which later wound up being cut by less than somebody predicted at some point? And this is isomorphic to a "revolution" how? Call me when there's a gay pride parade in Tehran.
