In a related note, I've always maintained that it's the rare person who has an extraordinary talent who also doesn't have some type of associated dysfunction. It's almost like a person needs to knock something out of balance in themselves to put more "energy"/resources/whatever towards the extraordinary talent. I guess in RPG terms, you're given something like 50 points to distribute across all your abilities - some out there either are able to or choose to put a disproportionate number of points into one area, severely "underfunding" another.
Interesting thought!

They may have "hacked" their distribution points but both of them weren't exactly heterosexual role-models, either.
