Bottom-line: RMS is a genius who "is-a" computing Guru.
Quote from Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance):
It's not the "nice" guy who brings about real social change.
"Nice" guys look nice because they're conforming. It's the
"bad" guys, who only look nice a hundred years later, that
are the real Dynamic force in social evolution.
Here is a picture Stallman took when he visited Arizona during
October 2001. He didn't want the picture because I was going
to copy the image from my camera to a Windows machine.
I-17 Sunset Point Rest Area north of Phoenix.

According to Ed Yourdon, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance is a great "computer" book.
