Nikola Tesla

I think it's probably more a commentary on Tesla's personality. He had a lot of very odd ideas and personal hangups, like reportedly being very uncomfortable around women and refusing to use any silverware besides ones he brought with him. Not to mention the "distortions" brought on by how Edison used/manipulated him. For that matter, there's a good chance he would have been diagnosed as OCD, if it had been a diagnosis back then.

He was extremely quirky, and it undoubtedly reduced his overall effectiveness in getting "work" done on earth.
