Larry Summers really didn't play his cards right. If he had just used this reasoning and concluded that it was because men are stupid, he at least wouldn't have been fired.

Larry Summers was forcing faculty members to show up for work. Worse than that, he was forcing some of them to change offices and move to the other side of the river!

They would have gotten him somehow, it's only a question of how.
