its more than unfortunate. It is completely wrong. Unless he wanted to show a reaction and put a stick with an H at the end it should be a methyl group not a hydrogen.

It's okay he corrected himself the next day
I was just taken aback, because I have taken organic chemistry, and I was pretty damn sure when he said that he was wrong
I guess sometimes the "lie" or counterfactual statement is so colossal that one believes it! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie

Interesting wiki link
Big lie, eh? I'm a cyborg space gorilla with the power to reverse entropy. Believable?

Come now, Greg, there are limits to jokes
I particularly like this quote related to entropy
The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes.
But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.
Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1915), chapter 4
In all fairness, had Sir Eddington been aware of my abilities, he may have qualified that statement.

Very well then, please be sure to share your secrets with Cosmic AC when the time comes
Sure, but only after I'm done examining Deep Thought's core dump.
