That is outside of Nabokov-L but, Charles, here is fascinating modern sample
of what you describe. In short it is about Jewish mathematic genius from
Russia, Grisha Perelman, who chose not to play it safe after becoming

because he was infinitely more gifted than his teachers. Professorial
mediocrities approve, recruit and promote in their own image, and, as
McLuhan once said, are terrified of those reaching for outer realities. Play
it safe, is the rule by thumb.
