That is another very important consideration, I've heard about Galileo's pride and ego, explosive temper and big mouth. How he would not listen to reason, and would burn all bridges behind him.

The pope even considered Galileo a friend, gave him all sorts of opportunities to get out of trouble, but then Galileo wrote a Plato-style dialogue between three people, one of them a simpleton, and gave that character the same speech patterns like the ones his pope friend had.
