Lucky, not hero.

This is a person saying they don’t like what everyone else on the planet deals with daily.

Fortunately they were published enough to not have to care.

Not a scientist but I have been reasonably successful by proving my worth to the ladder climbers and then they pull me up behind them.

This is also a form of marketing yourself to the correct audience.

These are just people skills. Of course you're gonna have to make people like you if you want to work with people. Half the brain is dedicated to networking with other brains.

And it's not actually that hard to agreeably disagree with someone. You say your thing, and then you do your little song and dance to make sure they know you respect them, and you go on your way.

A little bit of humility goes a long way. Hard scientists aren't above a little compassion, a little bit of care for explaining themselves to the public and to money movers.
