Cricket was sarcastically referring to the uppity ''scholar'', Gary Urton, professor of Precolumbian studies at Harvard University, an authority on khipu research,....who was obviously miffed that some lowlife dared to solve the problem in 40 minutes from a freaking picture in a book. Not only was it obvious that Cricket had read the article, but it was apparent that Cricket has a really good ear for tone.

(Kuddoes, Cricket!)

Personally, I got the sarcasm, but Gary Urton is a highly intelligent, open-minded individual. He is indeed a scholar and has studied khipus, ethnomathematics, et al in great depth. He was was also awarded a MacArthur "genius" grant.

And he is most certainly NOT uppity! He's -- well, he's very laid back, let's just say.
