When Andresen asked to run the proof on his own computer, Wright threw an exhausting tantrum.

He stretches it out. Makes everything tense. Gets everyone to try to placate him. An assistant has to run out and get a fresh computer

IIRC, Andresen doesn't get an opportunity to inspect the code?

I'm sure you and I both know plenty of people who play up the "haha, I'm so socially awkward" card to get away with shit
