I call it "weird results require weird behavior." Two problems tend to arise from it: 1. Ex ante, people who don't understand it think that just by being weird, they will have exceptional (weirdly good) results. So they are libertine or uncivil and that alone doesn't drive anything useful. 2. Ex post, people who achieved highly attribute the success to the weirdness, and take it as extra license to let the id flow free. In fact, my belief is that a good bit of weirdness both causes and is the effect of some other qualities that in turn correlate with success: obsessive knowledge of a domain, obsessive levels of effort, single-mindedness, manic level charisma, inordinate confidence (itself charismatic), and willingness to be contrarian / unorthodox. But man is it annoying when people are just assholes and wave it off blithely as coming with the territory.
