Talk:R. Nelson Smith

Something doesn't make sense ...
"Smith was well known for his humorous teaching style and for fostering an active prank culture in his department. His notable pranks included ... replacing colleague Corwin Hansch's desk chair with a porcelain toilet."

Smith is supposed to have replaced colleague Corwin Hansch's desk chair with a porcelain toilet ... but the infobox indicates that Smith's birth name was Corwin Herman Hansch - so how could he be a colleague?

The article gives no indication why Hansch changed his name to Smith.

 * @Prisoner of Zenda, looks like just a copying error from the editor who added the infobox. It's been fixed now; thanks for pointing it out! Cheers, &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 07:40, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
