I don't doubt that Henry Dawson's colleagues felt he made a 'perfectly competent associate professor' ( in the most damming sense of that ominous phrase) ---- but that as an individual he was a man extremely unremarkable and totally non memorable.

Erroneous common sense vs nonsensical Reality : Sciences, solid vs quantum
quantum-modernity
Modernists such as think tank climate deniers pride themselves on their side's "solid science" , their "common sense" science developed from that reliably Anglo Saxon trio of Newton, Dalton & Darwin .
They dismiss the other side's (quantum-based) science as "nonsensical".
On both counts they are correct but unfortunately, also in error.

DEXTER best Modernist govt NS ever had --- just too bad we live in postmodernist times...
If postmodernist times believe in de-centralization, the local, small is beautiful, DIY/PUNK and Off-the-Grid , modernity * just as surely worships megaprojects and the idea that ever bigger is ever better.
Darrell Dexter's NDP government here in Nova Scotia isn't bad (ie isn't corrupt) and is giving us the kind of competent "modern" government we can only wish we had had in the 1970s and 1980s.
The problem is that we are living in the 21st century and in postmodernist times.
