This is one of the reasons I left academia. I never wanted to lay down when one of the demi gods profs was having a toddler fit. An example was when I was a phd student and He came to us to discuss what we were doing. I told him that I was doing simulations and neutral networks in physics (mid 90s'). He laughed and said that this is for the weaker/dumber ones, the ones who can't do theory. To which I said that indeed, this requires to be actually intelligent, not just pretend like the ones who do <his topic>. I looked him in the eyes with a "wanna go that road, pal?" kind of eyes. Long story short, my phd defense was done when he was on vacation :)
