trait that creative geniuses often share

[Brownlie]

What I've been told about genius is that you have to start from a very early age and read sun up to sun down and then be involved in the government or something. That's just what I've been told though. Furthermore, it seems that artists who come up and stray away from canonical rigidity add a rich perspective to what is out there and should probably be encouraged. So with that I can put away my spyglass and return to my pipe tobacco.
