Well, fame is an indication for what the society value. How else would you measure it? Money? Respect? Something else? Which of these measures secretaries are good at?

What? That's an odd tangent.
He never implied there are famous secretaries.

Doesn't matter if he implied or not. What I'm arguing is that we would see famous secretaries if it was really a respectable job.

Name 3 that are as loathed as Donald Rumsfeld. Point taken, though: secretaries should be better paid.

Joseph Stalin and Martin Bormann come to mind.
