People are fascinating, and sometimes the paradoxes that people present make them really interesting.
A number of years ago I did a workshop with a noted art photographer. The man was an abrasive SOB who tried to convince us that unless we were using only "the best" German equipment (Technikardan, Leica, etc), we could not possibly produce any good work. His work was very good, but his attitude made being around him uncomfortable.
On the other hand, I learned some things about seeing and perception from him that I could never have learned from anyone else.
