At Stanford, Shockley was burned in effigy, his Lincoln spray-painted, his classes disrupted by demonstrators dressed in bed sheets. For seven years, colleagues from his own National Academy of Sciences tabled his requests for a hearing, then, sidestepping the cow pies of controversy, encouraged him to publish his findings in scientific journals, and make them subject to peer review. Shockley did go on to publish. No one was able to refute his science. IQ isn't everything.
All human blood runs red.
And the electron is color blind.
