After people at Princeton and Harvard said they had not read the details, Peter Scholze became convinced that nobody had actually read his work.

“So we had not read the details at all. So I emailed him back, said, you know, "We looked at it. Uh, we didn't read the details." And he said, "That's what everybody says."”

“And he'd asked people at, you know, at Princeton and at Harvard, uh, "That's what everybody says." Like, that-- And, uh, he'd become convinced that nobody had actually read his work.”
