No, I study whatever I'm interested in, and I change directions
as I see fit.
When I was younger I may have been rude to you, or someone
you know - is that why you're so grumpy now? If so, I apologize.
I've learned to be more polite, which at times

No, but the interesting thing is he gave a talk criticizing
Bohmian mechanics and the Everett interpretation as "Lorentzian"
interpretations of quantum mechanics, referring to how Lorentz
almost got the idea of relativity but posited an awkward "mechanism"
for how it was supposed to work, leaving the final steps of the
revolution for Einstein.
So, he's no Bohmian now. He too seems to feel free to change his views.

Okay: I publicly apologize for every mistake I ever made - but none
of the things that weren't mistakes that someone else may think are.
