I have an anecdote about Helene being a retard. This was around the time she and her friends started telling people I was the retard and that my theory was stupid. She was gloating on the phone to that this woman Vos Savant had drawn a table to show the outcomes of this problem. She asked me if it was better to change or stay and I told her it was better to change. She asked me why and I told her the first guess was 1 in 3 while the second would be 1 in 2. She said, "NO!!!! That's not why," and went into some retarded bit about the woman's solution to this problem being the real reason. She was too stupid to understand that you don't need to work out the numerical probability to know that one has higher probability than the other. She was so happy to call me a retard that day, completely oblivious to her Dunning-Kruger problem.

In a way, this anecdaote speaks to the nature of my research program. Because I am a subject matter expert, I know that one often doesn't have to work out numerical solutions to a problem to see the form of its solution. However, people who don't know anything sometimes think that math is nothing more than the math salad of writing very smart-looking numbers and symbols, and those were the sort of people who shit on my research program. Indeed, those are the sort of people who couldn't see that Helene was a toxic, degerate baboon, and choose idolize her instead.
