That blows my mind. How terribly myopic. It sounds like what the wanted was a "song and dance." Good on you. And of course, you could be a prof if you choose, and refrain from engaging in the same ignorant behavior that yours did.The profs. said that I was "flapsig" in german (meaning uncouth, flippant, offhand etc.)
They did not like how relaxed I took the questions. I answered them in a way I felt comfortable and passionate about. But they were not pleased. They wanted me to take things more serious.
This gave me a feeling of not belonging to this group of people called professors. But they won't stop me from being a scientist.
