You can apply that logic to extol anyone.

Jobs was a veritable maniac. Because he can write poetry with a crass corporate sign off doesn't add anything to him not being a shithead.

I'm not extolling or making any other value judgement on anyone. I'm saying that humans are complex and the particular human that parent was expressing incredulity about has a detailed biography available that might be of interest.
