It's still only incidental though. I think another poster said it best, this is about him suggesting he did something he didn't to try and look clever. It's pretty interesting in itself, because Dominic Cummings stands on his body of work as a self styled paragon of scientific governance. Him being an arse is probably somewhat apart from that. Pretty sure he referenced various forms of 'scientific advice' a couple of times in that interview too. We could start leading this discussion towards the subject of him attending impartial scientific advisory meetings (the SAGE scandal). Or we could have a lengthy discussion about his eyesight... I think it's worth drawing a line around stuff like that. If we want to have a wide open political discussion about a key government adviser, we should probably base it on a more relevant story. But it probably would flounce HN rules. Also "RTFA"? Let's be polite. we should be sharing news sources. Not beating each other over the head with them.
