He possessed genius intellect. He was highly influential in his field of linguistics.

It's not arguable that he was a great intellect or that he left an indelible mark on the world..

100% and to suggest otherwise is at best a reductionist view based on his latter writing style or simply intellectually dishonest.

He only seemed to see the problems, not the solutions.

That’s completely unfair. He saw the solution to people calling him Norm, was for them to better familiarise themselves with his actual name.

Problem solved.

It's coming, unfortunately. He came across as a good man.

No idea. Maybe he is trolling the world with one last lesson in manufacturing consent ;-)
