Why is this "lucky"? Its irrational in many cases, frankly. The work survives past the person. The personality quirks of the person are parochial - they only matter insofar as they impact our ability to create knowledge. In the case of a theoretical singular genius (hypothetically, not saying Wolfram is one) then personality traits are completely irrelevant to their impact, since they're not dependent upon collaboration with others. The error would be for those others to disregard their work due to their personality. The benefit would only flow in one direction in that case, and hence, it'd be irrational for the consumers to reject the work.
