Scientists are pretty used to the idea of having their papers rejected. It happens all the time for all sorts of reasons. Never say never, but the likelihood that someone who's already gone through a PhD program would act out in some extreme way is low.
Usually, these terminations have more to do with "He's getting close to something untouchable" than anything else. It happens to journalists, when they do their job a bit too well, also.
- oh_sigh 4y agoI don't think you can quantify any of the claims that you made in your post. Is your argument that the "Computers can design chip components better than humans" paper is so fundamental to Google that they're silencing any critics? Conspiracy theories work better if there is even a kernel of truth to them. Maybe I could accept this if Chatterjee was rebutting advertising as a whole or something, but who exactly is so concerned about this specific paper?
- lupire 4y agoIf you write a paper, as happened here, claiming that your boss's greatest achievement is bogus, your employment might be in danger. Not because Sundar and the Board and large shareholders care, but because your boss cares.
- oh_sigh 4y agoYour boss can't just fire you at Google(unless you report directly to Sundar I suppose). Especially not "with cause". Whose greatest achievement was "Computers can design some chip components better than humans" that you are accusing of having fired Chatterjee?
- BeetleB 4y ago> Scientists are pretty used to the idea of having their papers rejected. By journals, not by their employers. It's actually quite unusual for researchers in industry have their papers blocked by their employers, as many have testified after that affair.
