"Yes balding is hereditary and also it is related to male hormones"

It seems arrogance comes hand in hand with greatness. It did seem a bit over the top but it's not uncommon these days to see high achievers in whatever field behave that way. It's a while since society has expected anything from it's role models. Ho hum.
