Note the *criminally* insane, in the passage below. Such people are worse than mere rogues. Real-life often supports and but oddly enough also challenges stereotypes. ,---- http://www.amazon.com/The-Professor-Madman-Insanity-Dictionary/dp/0060839783 | The Professor and the Madman, masterfully researched and eloquently | written, is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible | obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford | English Dictionary -- and literary history. The compilation of the OED | began in 1857, it was one of the most ambitious projects ever | undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led | by Professor James Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had | submitted more than ten thousand. When the committee insisted on | honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American | Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally | insane. `---- ps: I haven't read the book myself but seems like good and an interesting read. --
