Oh, by gosh, by golly.

I don't think an occasional dose of 'real life', via a jab from the
Professor, will cause any lasting harm to the cosseted & emolumated students
and academics on the List.

On a Wall St trading desk, for example, every day one is kicked in the head
more brutally by clients, superiors, counterparts, the markets & etc, than
ever one would be by the Professor.

Plus, the Professor's jabs are good Schadenfreudic fun for the rest of us. .
