It was very obviously a specific tactic they have used before (I have witnessed it).
-
The point is that they might have been right and it might have been bad work — genuinely don't remember.
-
But nonetheless it doesn't warrant this level of shouting and calling them "sweetie" repeatedly when it's famous X VS McNobody PhD student.
-
It anything this kind of "criticism" (read bullying) will prob have the opposite effect: PhD student will want to leave science not improve.
-
However, I have also seen exactly the same dynamic: Diff famous X VS diff McNobody and they got shouted down and it went 100% differently.
-
I would argue this scenario went different because: a) no patronising "sweetie" etc; b) audience was professional/neutral and c) was 1 VS 1.
-
So yes, famous Xs can shout down and argue down McNobody PhD students but there's a way. Just like with everything social: there are ways.
-
Both my specific examples were senior man/men VS junior woman.

Unbelievable. I love to receive acute critics of my work but not to the point where X famous professor shout somebody down.
