> Modesty is not always a virtue

Seriously... where and when in the last 50 years in modern society was modesty ever a virtue? I certainly wouldn't expect anything like that at Princeton in the US.

Otherwise an interesting essay nevertheless, but I certainly don't agree with all the points.

> Mendel's modesty setback the progress of biology by fifty years.

Hilarious conjecture.
