KnowThyself:

Have you ever met Abbott? If not, you’re taking his words out of context. Abbott was a guest lecturer for several courses I had when I was at UChicago, and you really have to meet him to understand what his speech was all about. It sounds like you’re misconstruing Abbott considerably.

As another example of this, a while back Dean John Boyer talked about how UChicago was a better school than Columbia - that’s pretty much a verbatim quote. Now, for those who don’t know Boyer, this could seem like a pretty outrageous comment for one Dean to make of another school. If you know Boyer, though, you’d immediately understand what he’s all about.
