Most Overrated Genius, Candidate 3.

"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."- Albert Einstein
Let's work with this to see how much wiseness we can suck from it. If I made his quote simpler it might go like this: "Simple as possible - not simpler." I'll steal that one for myself. We know he quit looking for those pesky electrons and once again he fails to follow the path to its logical end. His aphorisms are incredibly lucky blurbs that were unintentionally wise. Also known to have stolen "Albert Einstein Look" from Mark Twain.
