Every individual has their quirks and most genius' are VERY quirky people. This is not to suggest that Mr. Rivero is a genius of any kind, but just to state that nobody is perfect and any individual will have an idea or two that most others think odd.
The best example of this would be Nikola Tesla, undoubtedly way ahead of his time and a genius, as well as being a very eccentric individual.
