And people wonder why I have no respect for George R R Martin. Why I have no respect for JK rowling, destroyer of her Legacy is self-evident at this point
I respect Martins approach. Not every fantasy writer has to be a Tolkien.
Tolkien: Writes a complex, multifaceted story set in a rich universe in a single elegant novel across three volumes.
Martin: Is five books into his trilogy with at least two more to go and still has no idea where the story is going.
I think I know which approach I respect more...
What I mean is, Einsteins existence doesn't have to make me lose respect for other physicists. You don't have to be one of the absolute legendary best to achieve something valuable.
