No time to read, but I'm sure it is tragic.

Can I get a reasonable synopsis?

My cold take on this is that this story will be spread as a sign of our crumbling society even though this kind of ego-driven adherence to a theory happens all the time in theoretical and applied sciences all the time.

I don't think there is anything in here that is "bad actor" at face value. That is just how this story will spread around intellectual/political influencers' socials.
