No, he was not too telegenic, even in the days when the medium of video did not require telegenic style for miles and miles the way it does now; indeed, we remember some wag characterizing him as \u2018The Human Sominex\u2019. Nevertheless, to do something for a jillion years, to do it without fail pretty much every day, to do it competently and to do it without drawing undue attention to yourself, well, hey, that is something we just do not encounter all that much in our current era of slackerdom, goldbricking, Quiet Quitting &amp; general malingering. So, that greatly outweighs the tepid personalities, and anyway, it\u2019s the principles that race to the top, always, while the personalities settle for the race to the bottom.
