I am not defending SdK here; he doesn't need me to do that, and wouldn't want me to. I am friends with him in real life, and try to stay out of his business for the most part. I did want to chime in about the Duke thing, though. If I remember correctly, and I am in the education business so am aware of the Duke TIP program, SdK's contacts from Duke were beyond that. Early recruitment was definitely taking place. Since it's not my story to tell I will leave it at that.
