But also, using quotation marks purely for emphasis/sarcasm is an informal practice, it doesn't belong in something like a news article (or an essay, legal document, etc. ).
Yes, but whether someone is brilliant or not is usually an opinion, and as such should not be stated as fact in news to the general public with almost no exceptions.
People like Einstein are the only ones who get the exceptions, and I don't mean any disrespect but this guy was simply not Einstein.
