what a f00l

Similarity in arguments
RR: s/he doesn't have 10 top 5s, therefore s/he is an idi0t.
SH: s/he doesn't have a habilitation, therefore s/he is an idi0t.
Both are f0/0lsI think you are the f0/0I - RR has repeatedly argued against top 5 tyranny.
But only because he isn't smart enough to get a top 5.

Says the graduate student still dreaming of getting into the top 5.

Well, at least the graduate student still has a chance (albeit small) of getting a profesorship in Germany. Some, say, 45 year old economist based in the US will not be able to get that.

RR doesn’t want a professorship in Germany. Why would he? He is at a top department better than almost all German departments, his family is in the US and unwilling to go to Germany. Why does anyone think that he is searching in Germany?
US broAll his own making. Show me one US based German economist who is so much wedded to what‘s going on „at home“. I mean if he doesn‘t give a damn, why on earth wasting time on SH, academia in Germany etc.? Ok, could be he is incapable of getting over what has happened to him while he was in Germany and all this twitter barrage and VfS service is to be seen as a coping strategy - but in this case you sort of start seeing why not everybody wants him back badly.
