Mimio, that's not true. Clients have always been foolish, conservative, timid, and ill-informed. If you read about Rand, you find his cantakerousness extended to his dealings with clients, and a lot of what he accomplished wasn't because the sheer brilliance of it overwhelmed the client, but because he fought and argued and backed up his design choices with reasoning and logic which was hard to disagree with. Doing great design is only one facet of getting great design produced. He was as good at defending his ideas as he was at conceptualizing and executing them --- a rare combination.
