I wasn't saying I was right in thinking that! Notice the quotation marks around 'uncool'. My perception of science THEN was 'uncool'; this was I realise now a petty, small-minded and lamentable attitude. Although most of the fun-haters were scientists.

Anyway, Ailsa, didn't we promise not to have any more arguments about education? :(

Yeah, but you use "cool" without scare quotes in the next sentence. Also, you use scare quotes.

(I didn't promise anything. And this isn't an argument. Or about education.)

Cool without 'scare quotes' indicates that they were genuinely awesome, well-rounded people.
