Feynman was one of the greatest and most underrated scientists and science communicators ever. I would give a lot just to spend an hour talking to him over dinner.
The thing is, most of his work is kind of obscure. He did path integrals (which don't have much use in undergrad quantum) and feynman diagrams (which you would only see in particle physics or maybe as a blip in modern physics). His nobel prize winning research was in QED, which most physics students will never encounter, even in grad school.

Well, in the physics world he's considered on par with Einstein, Newton, and Tesla. But yes, more people should read his stuff. Personally I think Dirac is underrated.

But to each their own, except not, because that goes against my religious freedom which demands you respect my religion, because freedom. Also because I have lawyers and lobbyists to address any potential disrespect.

Feynman was incredible. He was able to demonstrate (with a simple example) the flaws in the O-ring when the Challenger exploded 30-plus years ago. Such a great scientist, with equally great integrity.

That's a great quote by Richard Feynman.
If you haven't read his biographies, you should. I highly recommend them.

I can do accounting okay, but that higher level math is beyond me.

Are you sure this isn't a quote from the movie "Mystery Men?"

Yes, it does sound like The Sphinx, doesn't it.
