Or, maybe, we recognize a genius only after their idea has been validated. It's the same situation as with "prophets". Take 1000 people and ask them for an open ended prophecy. If one of 1000 gets something perfectly right, we will focus on that person... and ignore the fact that the other 999 failed to predict anything. Then hold that one person as a great prophet. Dreams are 10 a penny - they say. Not to say that people who managed to properly articulate ideas and put in the "capstone" for a theory aren't important or hold a lot of knowledge/wisdom. But I don't understand why would Aristotle, Newton or Einstein support the idea that "Lone Genius Myth" is false.
