Note the *criminally* insane, in the passage below. Such people are
worse than mere rogues.
Real-life often supports and but oddly enough also challenges
stereotypes.
,---- http://www.amazon.com/The-Professor-Madman-Insanity-Dictionary/dp/0060839783
| The Professor and the Madman, masterfully researched and eloquently
| written, is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible
| obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford
| English Dictionary -- and literary history. The compilation of the OED
| began in 1857, it was one of the most ambitious projects ever
| undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led
| by Professor James Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had
| submitted more than ten thousand. When the committee insisted on
| honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American
| Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally
| insane.

ps: I haven't read the book myself but seems like good and an
interesting read.
