to psychoanalyse (who you seem to have identified as) your opponent in an obvious effort to discredit, is at the very least unfair.

Robin does seem to find the courage to say he's glad others are looking into emulations, but the overall vibe I get is of someone protective of a research field they believe they uniquely 'get', someone who feels others should just get in line or get out of the ring, and it's a vibe not uncommon in academia.

This conjunction almost gave me whiplash.
