Ha! And you know this how?
My god I've known more than a handlful of brilliant people, some famous, very well known people. I don't think you can generalize like that -- saying that, "The true exceptional so-called "genius" doesn't have to build any protecting wall, " Probably it's bad to generlize either way. I mean one of those people I know is not arrogant in that way. Yes, he KNOWS he's one of worlds greatest pianists, but he's very personable and gracious and pleasant to be around.

I don't know how you know that the true exceptional genius doesn't have to build any protective walls. I don't know how you know this. We all have protective walls of varying sizes and degrees. e's a free spirit? Who said? Who is specifically?
