Aaq, can we not evaluate a plumbers neshoma because we don’t understand plumbing? What does his scientific knowledge have to do with our ability to understand his spiritual life, or lack thereof? To whatever degree we can judge a person doesn’t depend on how smart they are, or how athletic, or how artistic, because those things have no bearing on a person’s moral capacity.

Einstein was not above anyone else. I only wish you’d have the same attitude when it comes to talmidei chachamim, many of whom you think you can judge, even though you don’t understand their level of learning.
