Maybe. Does either make him less or more smart, in your opinion? Or respected?
I have no doubt he was a brilliant man, but the nature of his disability is what make him iconic and his death newsworthy.
I believe "A Brief History of Time" is probably second only to the bible in terms of lowest purchase to actually read ratio.
