Feynman drank, played bongo, womanised, slept with some of his friends' wives.
But that does not mean everyone who does that is a great Physicist. Neither all great Physicists do these.
Taking an outlier and using him for justification of something seems obtuse.
I love Feynman, and have a picture of him on my wall. But that does not mean I idealize or even like everything he did in his life.
