Perhaps my usage of the words “good and bad” implied a moral judgement. But, that’s not really my intention.
What I’m saying, is that it’s unwise to idolize people because of their work in one area and then elevate (or more worryingly emulate) there work in other areas.
Like his treatment of women, Feynman’s work in Biology is not really very interesting. It wouldn’t stand up on its own merits... the only reason to talk about it is if you treat Feynman as some kind of Hero/ideal. Feynman is not really a wonderful person to idolize (not that anybody is)...
