Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend I hear you. The Hitler thing actually does make sense in this context, though it is sloppily presented in that way you are averse to, here. The problem you are highlighting isn't that people treat famous figures as absolutes, but rather that people often treat others as abstract entities. People do this all the time, even for people they've met.
