It doesn't matter.
I am officially diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and most
people have something that makes them a bit funny in certain respects. There
seems to be a correlation between obnoxiouness and success inventing stuff.

Nikolai Tesla (the inventor of the DC electric motor and a whole lot more)
lived in the time of Edison and Tesla used to say: "Edison is a moron" (I
paraphrase). Both were eminent inventors and they hated eachother's guts and
called eachother hopeless idiots :)

Tesla said: "Any idiot can invent a lightbulb by trying 5000 types of
filament material, when I invent something I first think and then do it
right the first time". Edison was a nasty man (he electrocuted elephants to
"prove" that Tesla's AC was more dangerous than DC (or vice versa, I
forgot). Tesla died a poor man, feeding pigeons in abject poverty. Edison
became a millionaire.
