"Q. Were you sorry to see Harvard's outgoing president, Lawrence Summers, attacked for saying that men and women may have different mental capacities?
A. He was taking seriously the notion that women, innately, have less capacity than men at the highest level of science. I think it's probably true. It's common sense if you just look at who the top scientists are."
The whole interview reads this way and makes you wonder how exactly he made it into Harvard. He's a bigger idiot than Summers.
