Several people told Frederick, repeatedly, that he was coming up with a
solution in search of a problem, that he had not yet explained the motivation
for doing what he was doing, that the implementation details were mostly
irrelevant. And yet he proceeded to write a paper that had all the flaws that
had been pointed out.
Plus, this is a pattern of behaviour. That's why Arthur said it's not
surprising.
