The criticism of Obama was slightly more coherent than that. The Tribe paper in question really was an example of the common attempt for people to take ideas in math and physics and try to apply them as strong metaphors in other areas in ways that are really unhelpful and at best silly. In that regard, most of Tipler’s criticism was straight on.

Yeah, except for two facts: Obama had no actual input into Tribe’s paper. Tipler’s physics in his paper is even less coherent than Tribe’s.
