Nicely done.
I went to Morris’s The Fog of War on a date. 20 years later we’re still together.

I think the context of that conflation is different at SLACs. The Williams announcement has been an item of discussion at mine where it seems like we’re constantly trying to get admin to value our research output even half as much as the student pastoral work.

It’s been 25 years and I’m still stuck on him publishing a book in which he claimed his favorite bakery, and weekly treat, was a chain fast food place in a mall. And they didn’t even serve olives or deliver by Lexus.

Might be more efficient to just point people to the Crowd Counting Consortium as they have extensive experience doing this. @crowdcounting.bsky.social
They have a link for direct submissions of reports. They'll verify and clean the numbers.
