> This is something that should be a "law", the more accomplished a person is the most it can "afford" to be modest. So for example Einstein was more modest than say Feynman, and Edward Witten is way way more modest than your typical string theorist.

Your examples seem different from your law. Your law says that a more accomplished person can afford to be more modest, whereas your examples suggest that a more accomplished person automatically is more modest. While it would be nice if there were some such causative effect, I think that your examples in evidence of one are very cherry picked (and speculative: do you really know whether or not Einstein was a modest person?).
