@jeffmarc They're quoting his self-justification for balance. It's also untested in any court or review, since he left before they could assess the allegations.

Unfortunately, that leaves us having to decide between Dr Epstein and his many professional accusers without a full and transparent review of the evidence.

If the allegations are true (and we have no way now of knowing), it would hardly be the first time that a brilliant and talented person let their ego and confidence outstrip their ability.

You've heard the old joke, perhaps?
