If I want advice on the future of computer science, Bill Gates is certainly on a short list. For advice on climate science he's not in the top ten thousand.

Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States, dreamed up the league of nations, and led during WW1. He was also a flaming racist.

Herbert Hoover was also President and was a highly successful businessman. He also arguably crashed the US economy.

Charles Lindberg was the first person to cross the Atlantic solo in an airplane. He also was a staunch isolationist who blamed jews for war mongering and said we should appease the Germans.

Henry Ford virtually invented the affordable automobile market and assembly line. He was also a raging anti-semite.

Lots of visionary leaders are genius in one specific area, yet believe their genius extends to all subjects. It rarely does. Bill should stick to computers.
