Mittag-Leffler was a man, not a woman. Time and time again you get your
facts messed up. I cannot take you seriously because of this.
Your case against Marie Curie rests on a single line of a single letter
written by Piere Curie, which is ambiguous at best. Your dogmatism is
making you look ridiculous, as it is obvious that Marie Curie deserved
the TWO Nobel prizes she was awarded. Oh, I agree that she is given undue
attention because of her sex, but that doesn't undermine the fact that
she, together with her husband, performed groundbreaking research that was
more than worthy of a Nobel prize.
