You have sadly underestimated the chutzpah of the good doctor. He
doesn't think it's his best short story, he thinks it's *the* best sf
short story.

Where did he say that? I don't know - nor do I have time to dig through
his published works to find it. If you get insistent enough, I may try,
though :-).
