i might feel a bit differently, but I think I hear where you're coming from: that it does a disservice to great people when we flippantly imply their greatness originates from simplistic things outside themselves (if I'm still way off, feel free to correct, but pls don't feel obligated to engage :) )
That might be a good way of putting it. I think also that the question to me implied a cynicism about how people can be curious and creative while also being scientific, but the original commenter has already clarified they did not intend this interpretation at all
