That's an interesting quote, because Feynman's superpower seemed to be his ability to visualize a difficult problem and make it parsable by mere mortals. I think he only scored ~135 on an IQ test (whatever that's worth).
It wouldn't have been that out of left field, he did work on massively parallel machines at Connection Machine. Though I guess that was more AI than distributed systems, iirc.

Pity Feynman didn’t write a Distributed Systems textbook…
