Tell that to the families of the people here: http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/unabomber/victims...

Kaczynski was just a dedicated psycho whose only hack was to show how hard it can be for society to deal with people like him. He may have dicked around with math a little but to call him "brilliant" is a mistake along the lines of Clarke's third law.
