Hi! Wanted to ask you a question in another thread, but it was an old one and already closed. Glad I could catch you posting.
It was one of your posts regarding von Neumann, where you listed books about him. What I wanted to ask is I remember reading one or two comments by his friends from after his death (one for sure, but the second one might be from the same person, I didn't know) in which they talk about his hidden parameter proof. What I remember is that they were like "well, sadly after his death he was attacked for his proof not being absolute, but of course he knew that!" I'm looking for this quote or a similar one.
The usual suspects are of course Ulam or Birkhoff, but it could have been someone else, Wigner I don't think so, but maybe. I can't find it.
So that's what I thought maybe you could help me with.
