yeah breen explicitly calls this out in hl2 when he's scolding the overwatch for not being able to stop gordon.

How could one man have slipped through your force's fingers time and time again? How is it possible? This is not some agent provocateur or highly trained assassin we are discussing. Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist who had hardly earned the distinction of his Ph.D. at the time of the Black Mesa Incident.

and in one of the follow up episodes barney teases gordon about that phd really coming in handy for pushing a cart into a beam

many years ago, when i was still an undergrad myself, i joked on another forum that gordon isn't really a big-brain scientist, but just a mute, murderous idiot employed to push a stupid loving cart whose only solution to any problem is to either shoot it or beat it into a pulp with his crowbar

some other poster got really cross at that and angrily argued that gordon is in fact a silent protagonist and not at all a dumb psycho

still gives me a decent lol remembering that

I was a postdoc. never been so depressed and miserable :(

the whole system for a career scientists is terrible. you either have to be a loner without friends or children, ready to move every few years for most of your early 30s, or have a spouse willing to move with you and do all of the child care.
