Considering he now has two jobs, 1) to be an actual mathematician, and 2) to fulfill his "popular" role, I'd say that this post was rather trivial except for the last line. Even two entirely random distributions, can be correlated 100%, such that some function of both of them is entirely static/constant. I'm not sure why you are defending what is indefensible. His accolades aren't some unpierceable armor for everything he does. But I'm not trying to be snark either. I do agree, the truths that he can uncover are a lot more important than any popularity pandering.
