Does 80 technical papers in 2.5 years seem kind of off to anyone else? That's more than a paper every 2 weeks. Is there really time for meaningful research if you're publishing that often? Is he advising a lot of students? If that's the case, is he providing the attention generally needed for each one? Is his field just super different than mine?

Yeah, even if he is advising or contributing, the way he put it sounds very disingenuous like he's trying to inflate the number for his argument. Which MIGHT mean there likely was not many with immediately recognizable significance in that time (don't yell at me, I have not taken the time to verify this).

Either way, the way he responded comes across as very "I'm published, you're not, neener neener!" which is not a good look for anyone with a doctorates.

Also, genuine question, how significant was the contribution of LeNet-5 to the field of deep learning vs Neocognitron?

He could've just said "I have a turing award, you don't" if he wanted to show off.

He is also called one of the godfathers of deep learning, so I'd say his contributions are very significant.
