At that point you've expanded your criteria to Hitler and Jesse Owens.

Hitler was a genius at politics and charisma. No one raises to power like without some sort of gift. He was also crazy and evil, but no one said all genius is used for good causes.

Hitler was an awful human being. But he was a genius orator. Jesse Owens was a physical genius, though we'd perhaps more easily say that someone performing a more complex skill was a genius, such as Steve Nash etc. In any case, I think it's interesting and useful to think there are many kinds of genius.

I'd like to see you lead a whole nation to believe your batshit crazy ideas. It takes a little bit of genius to do that.
