When the very great physicist Bohr was visiting the great physicist Landau in Moscow he was invited to give a talk to the graduate students with Landau translating. Bohr concluded his talk with the assertion `I attribute my success to the fact that I have never been afraid to let my students tell me what a fool I am’. The Russian translation ended `I attribute my success to the fact that I have never been afraid to tell my students what fools they are’.
from an article by Tom Korner, not sure what it shows, but it is funny.
