Oh, that&#x27;s a perfect encapsulation of this topic! For the lazy:<p>&gt; <i>The charming side of Richard helped people forgive him for his uncharming characteristics. For example, in many ways Richard was a sexist. Whenever it came time for his daily bowl of soup he would look around for the nearest &quot;girl&quot; and ask if she would fetch it to him. It did not matter if she was the cook, an engineer, or the president of the company. I once asked a female engineer who had just been a victim of this if it bothered her. &quot;Yes, it really annoys me,&quot; she said. &quot;On the other hand, he is the only one who ever explained quantum mechanics to me as if I could understand it.&quot; That was the essence of Richard&#x27;s charm.</i>
