Comment on Oppenheimer's recommendation letter for Richard FeynmanComments−ebbyamir14yWhat are the chances Oppenheimer asked Feynman to write it himself. I've had professors do that because they were too busy haha.−dennisgorelik14yIt's fun to imagine that, but realistically why would Feynman write that recommendation if he didn't want to accept the position?−ThaddeusQuay214yBecause he wanted to future prank the historians.
