Would you prefer OC was more specific, ie “the author turned out to be a racist”, or do you have an issue with calling someone like this despicable?
I always read that word as though it were being pronounced by Daffy Duck; "you're dethpikable!".
Is it not obvious? Replace “fairly despicable” with “white nationalist” instead of whatever anyone might imagine could make a mathematician despicable?
Obviously, I would prefer OC was more specific. I said as much.
