Semilia semilae solventur. You tend to get surrounded only by the kind
of people you seek to be surrounded.-

It's unlikely that Nathan moonlights in the admissions office of his

I rather meant that people change their ways depending on the person
they talk to. They just _look_ the way you make them or provoke them
to. If you really want no opposition in class, it'll often like
there's no real opposition in class.

I don't mind (informed) opposition at all. My students are encouraged
to challenge and question what they are told, basing their opposition
on an understanding of the facts (obtained through reading relevant
work), logical reasoning, and scientific rigor.

Franz displays none of these traits. Instead, what little research he
does is incomplete, lazy, and often completely wrong, consisting
primarily of half-remembered radio broadcasts performed by linguistic
laymen. He uses no logical or scientific argumentation, but rather
simply insists on absurd claims and then pursues only those
consequences that interest him, ignoring anything that contradicts
reality.
