I don't know why you wrote this wall of text as an opposing argument, I don't recall claiming that politics don't exists somewhere. Sure politics exists, let's just say individuals exists too.
What I say is that the problems caused by politics emerge when politicians forget that other people are individuals. That doesn't mean that there are no politics in science, in music, in work or even in intimate relationships.
Are you suggesting that the only way to be a politician is to be sociopath? It is a cliche that I find too simplistic, honestly.

I'm saying a bit more: that there's exactly the same kind of kind of politics that Mesquita and Smith talk about, and that, contrary to your dismissal, their insights are far from irrelevant to people who "uncover the secrets of the universe" or "have talent for music".
