>Arguably the guy did nothing worthy of admiration.
Hm, isn't that a purely subjective thing? And did he really did nothing worthy of admiration? Isn't it admirable to be great at your job? To write books that people read and enjoy, and draw inspiration from?
That’s why i put the word “arguably. Because it seems to be debatable and naturally i would like to hear the other side.
Clever and smart scammer is extremely great at his job sending people into poverty. Absolutely great at the job. Is it admirable? I’ll leave the judgment to you.

You did the opposite of leaving the judgement for me.
You wanted to argue that he did nothing worthy of admiration - so it would be interesting to hear the reasoning (if any) behind that. He lived 99 years, are you sure he did nothing worthy of admiration in his life? I know nothing about the guy but I can see on wikipedia that he was at the top of his class at Harvard. Isn't that potentially admirable? What about him providing free legal aid while being a student? Nothing worthy of admiration? Are you sure that none of his family members didn't find him admirable? His neighbours or colleagues?
Again, saying that he never have done anything admirable is a pretty strong claim that you have failed to argue for.
I feel like you're just trying to understand someone else's position, but you're coming across as very militant. Tangential: do you disagree that someone could consider an athlete a personal hero?
