This left a bit of bad taste in my mouth: “It’s easy to imagine an alternative timeline in which Zhang proved his result six months after Maynard instead of six months before.”
I don’t think even Maynard has claimed he would have gotten to bounded gaps without Zhang.
- Alkhwarizmi 6y agoVery good point! Shame on these writers, I hope they edit that at the least.
- alimw 6y agoThe article does call Maynard's approach "completely independent". So while Maynard himself might not want to make any such claim, clearly the impression left with the interviewer is that he would indeed have got there without Zhang.
