I agree.  For one thing, there's no chance of anything being changed
now; but it is probably true that without the Gates money we'd still
be stuck in the New Museums rabbit-warren.  I think that most, if not
all of the people who work in the lab have enough academic integrity not
to allow the name of their building to influence what they think.  There's
also no possibility of the money being taken away if they don't "toe the
line" as I understand it has all been received already.

Sure the name sucks, but he did pay for the building and we all have more
sense than to let that effect what we think.
