Note that I agree with the general thesis of your article.
While you posted a fact (the failed admission test), that fact is a cherry-picked outlier that gives the opposite impression of Einsteins actual academic achievements (especially more so if you omit the rest of the circumstances).
It's like saying the fact that I won my Physics School chess championship in 1996 and leaving it there (true) without mentioning that I'm actually a mediocre player that won because many of my opponents didn't show up.
My rant was more general; I'd swear I've seen in a couple of movies the "Einstein flunked a physics test".
