I've met him once, at a conference, and two things struck me...

1. His eyes looked intensely alive and intelligent. His eyes looked at me
as if a brain the size of a small galaxy was parsing, studying and
evaluating whatever I said.

2. He asked a stupid question.

It's comforting in a way. If even someone like that can ask a stupid
question...
