I've met Donald Knuth, Steve Wozniak and Tim Berners-Lee; none of them seemed like assholes to me. I can't think of anyone I've met, whom I respect but consider an asshole.
By "Genius (with uppacase G)" you mean an Apple Store employee?
You are most likely correct in this. All geniuses I have briefly met are indeed nice. But usually this is a mask. Wait until you get to know them really well. Or read their bioagraphies. Oh, and I don not write this in negative way, no-no, I just have observed that that's the way it is.

I think you are confusing genius with something else. I'm not sure what yet though. Possibly a badger.
