Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

How much science was lost though because he felt the need to belittle and dismiss other researchers?

Well, it's hard when you're a genius and no one else can keep up, so generally, it's easier to do things yourself.

I mean... no, but I've met people who have met him and I've read loads of biographies and watched interviews... He made me want to go into engineering myself, and I appreciate the sort of... mindset that level of genius can command.

Like I said, sometimes it's just easier not to have other people sticking their fingers in and mucking things up.

Ok, let me ask you as a scientist do
You think that data set seems inaccurate, or at least incomplete?

I’m not denying he’s a genius, probably the smartest man on the planet, but I’ve seen what happens to a genius who breaks every relationship they have and it’s not great. You end up having to get some ex-con to stop your old company from destroying the world.

Well, it's certainly incomplete, what with insufficient data points to extrapolate from, not to mention no real repetition in the study at all. Like I said, I know people who know him, so none of that really surprises me all that much.

That's... a very specific set of circumstances...
