Presumably, because he can fuck you up eight ways to Sunday, and there's nothing anyone else can do about it. Which wouldn't be so bad if he was otherwise a pretty cool and calm guy instead of the "Rage Machine on a Hair Trigger" that his biography claims.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
