Doctor Procrustes, because "trust the science...."

"In Greek mythology, Procrustes (/proʊˈkrʌstiːz/; Greek: Προκρούστης Prokroustes, 'the stretcher [who hammers out the metal]'), also known as Prokoptas, Damastes (Δαμαστής, 'subduer') or Polypemon, was a rogue smith and bandit from Attica who attacked people by stretching them or cutting off their legs, so as to force them to fit the size of an iron bed."
