For the most part I agree. But that said, there are definitely exceptions. Some truly world-class scrabble (and poker) players are well-adjusted, nice, friendly people, who seem otherwise normal.

No, you're absolutely right. There are a number of people who are phenomenal at what they do, and balance their personal lives as well.

edit: I would say some (not a lot) great people. I really do think it is an exception, but they are out there.
