I know what you mean, but I would say no. This is getting a little philosophical, but bear with me. It's like saying, "what if Steve Jobs were a little more down to earth?" or "What if Nick Saban was just a little easier to get a long with?" It's tough to separate out what makes a man who he is. The same unreasonableness that made people not want to work with him is what saw his designs through to production unmolested by the compromises of what he would likely have deemed lesser minds (or "fucking idiots" as he'd have said).
