Strauss was under the impression that the scientist community was out to get him when he stressed over the Oppie/Einstein conversation by the pond. He always thought something bad had been said about him, but by the end of the movie, you find out the conversation wasn't about him at all. It was about something more important than Strauss all together.
That is told from Oppenheimer’s point of view.
I enjoyed the movie but thought it felt pretty obvious by the end of the movie that it was made by Oppenheimer’s people to make him look good and Strauss to look like a piece of shite. And maybe that is accurate, but it seems like it was likely a one sided story told here.

The real dramatic arc of Oppenheimers post-war life was his meeting with Truman. He protested the development of the H-bomb and Truman basically told him GFY. That should have been the climax of the movie. The Strauss story was secondary to that and given Nolan’s knack with temporal structure, the Strauss story could have still been told as a coda presented in flashforwards without the big reveal being a misunderstood conversation between Einstein and Oppenheimer.
