An addendum to this: Many of the greatest unconventional thinkers of our time are similar to Newton in that they are right about one non-consensus thing and wrong about lots of others. Some of those people become fantastically rich as a result of the one right thing. Just because someone is wildly successful and right about one non-consensus bet, doesn't mean they aren't wrong about most of their other beliefs. The occasional out-of-the-mainstream idea is a revolution, but the vast majority are just nutty and wrong.
