Hi,

Einstein had further sympathetic features:

1. avid sailor, owned several small boats
    Einstein: Yes      Poincaré: No

2. talking walks with Gödel in Gödel
    Einstein: Yes      Poincaré: No

3. Answering "I am a pacifist and a scientist."
    to U.S. immigration authorities:
    Einstein: Yes      Poincaré: No

4. Easy memes like Einstein / Zweistein / Dreistein
https://nz.pinterest.com/pin/583919907970845584/
    Einstein: Yes      Poincaré: No

5. What else?

Bye
