I read college literature professors say his "Manifesto" was perfectly written. That makes me think of the AS trait of having such order as to be perfection.
Perfectly written in what sense? Grammar? Much of what is judged good/bad about writing is merely a matter of taste; only simple elements such as grammar or spelling are significantly objectively judgeable (and even those vary by dialect), and excelling in the correct use of the simple elements of a language is not enough to indicate genius.
And of what value is the opinion of a professor of
literature when it comes to
political tracts, beyond writing mechanics?
He was called a genius because of his math work of solving problems that professors could not solve. It was math professors that were interviewed on television that called him a genius.
His manifesto was later critiqued by literature professors later on to see what they thought of it, and they said it was written with such order and precision in the use of language.
"His grades at Harvard were unexceptional, especially for someone who had entered the world's most prestigious at age 16. In his last year as an undergrad, he scored a B+ in History of Science, B- in Humanities 115, B in Math 210, B in Math 250, A- in Anthropology 122, C+ in History 143 and A- in Scandinavian. Earlier in his career, he earned an embarrassing C in Mathematics 101. He finished with a 3.12 GPA. Those grades may not seem drastically poor - especially given it was a time before rampant grade inflation - but Kaczynski had a 170 IQ at age 10. He was expected to perform better. "
