At the end of the meeting, they would leave and cry because the editors in charge were kind of unstinting in their withering comments.

Well, the point is that I learned from my own mentors that this was the way you conducted a meeting. It was much more efficient to be brutally honest. That's an idea that doesn't work because blah, blah, blah, blah. One thought of that as teaching. I tried to bring some of that stricter method, and people were aghast.

It wasn't necessarily the better way to do it, but because it was the way that I learned how to sharpen my mind as an editor, I had an expectation that I should do the same with those people I was trying to get to do the work a certain way. In that case, yeah, they taught me. Meaning the younger people taught you like this doesn't feel good.

So that was a strategy. Come over. It wasn't a conscious strategy, but I realized that's what I was doing. I was certainly told it enough times that I came to realize that, oh, yeah, this is what I do.

You may have learned some methods from me, but your taste and sensibility was not something I had much influence over at all because it's just who you were.
