You said "it’s generally attached to a persona with various drivers and flaws", and I likened that to some common personality flaws I've seen in the wild. I don't think that's a wildly unfair interpretation, and I think it was reasonable in this context. I don't suspect it's a US thing in my case, because I don't live in the US. Not all talented and passionate people are jerks. Not all Prima Donnas are jerks either, but working with them can be very tiring. I find it to be a losing proposition in mature teams, but they have their place. I say this as a recovering Prima Donna myself.
