I should also note that Bernstein was widely known to be a complete asshole.
I think this is partial confirmation of pg's observation that independence of thought is important for creativity: if you are both arrogant and independent, you have all the ingredients to be an asshole.
If arrogance is orthogonal to creativity, as I suspect, but independence of thought is not, then we would see a disproportionate number of assholes among those with new ideas.
