The &quot;she&apos;s dead, and how&apos;s the project?&quot; quip wasn&apos;t to show the scientific, rational way Feynman dealt with death but rather the unhealthy manner in which he&apos;d internalized his grief.  The book goes on to describe, at great length, how Feynman would spontaneously break down in tears when he saw something that reminded him of her, and how he&apos;d continue to have conversations with her after her death (which I believe led to his disqualification from military service).  I suppose that doesn&apos;t fit in well with the narrative of &quot;Feynman is the ideal all rational thinkers should strive for!!!&quot; this guy seems to be pushing though.</text></comment>
