And while I was waiting for a some kind of confirmation, I was being told, "Eric, you're completely off base. You're not getting it." One of these situations involved something called the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiberg%E2%80%93Witten_invariants Seiberg-Witten equations], which I put forward in the 1980s, around probably 87, and I was told that these couldn't possibly be right, that they weren't sufficiently nonlinear. I'll tell the whole story about how if spinors were involved, then obviously [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Hitchin Nigel Hitchin] would have told us so, blah, blah, blah.
