Possibly it was because it made him look even more asinine then his "paper" about hurricanes and wind turbines.

Anyone who has a bright college aged student looking for Ivy League is advised to not choose Stanford, even if it's the only one offering admission. This asshole actually has tenure.

One of my favorite papers by a Nobel Laureate is one by Barton Richter, (politely) calling this fool, um, a fool:
