What your noticing, I think, is the fact that they're both old dudes.
Not just that. The whole focus on the "before the big bang" falacy. The T=O issue he keeps confusing. The condescending "just a thought" and signature on the way out with "Thou" all kind of mimicing ICANT. ALso, is seem to focusing on inflation which was ICANT's insane focus too.
But if you guys don't see it I guess I'm wrong.
