That’s it, that’s the joke.
Well that is a nice illustration for the fact that listing an h index with no context doesn’t mean much.
I recall being a grad student, and one of my friends was super happy their paper was mentioned. The context was basically “Contrary to claims by [friend et al]…”
But you HAVE heard of them!
Depending on the context (was the whole paper built on wrong assumptions or was there just some small error) that can still be a good thing?
Guy thinks being the CEO of a company that does research is the same thing as doing the research itself. He is not even the last corresponding author (that is where PIs in natural sciences almost always put their names), he had to put him self as both the first author and the corresponding author. It must suck to work for him.
