You clearly have no idea what is involved in a Phd. Perhaps you could
tell us why Gregory thinks people should learn what IDA is in their
Phds? Would knowing about IDA (some american company?) help scientists
do original research?

Every time I don't know something you'll guess I didn't learn much at
university? Doh.. that makes sense. What is the ZxGH Gregory? You don't
know? I guess they didn't teach you much at school...  I've got it now,
easy game to play...

What you do is call them stupid rather than present a reasoned case for
them being wrong. You can't present a case in the incident in question
so you resorted to insult. It was funny to watch. :)

It's a natural and reasonable thing to do.

I could extrapolate that to conclude that you can't tell jokes. Actually
though I suspect you can't tell jokes but in this instance weren't
trying to and are now backpedalling because you can't explain away your
actions in any manner that makes you look less of a twat.
