I would speculate they wanted to draw the connection between inspiration and innovation. The show depicted Bruno as a wide eyed day dreamer who was considered a wack job by the powers that be. They did so to get their bias across, which I whole heartedly agree with.

You have to be a little nuts to go against the mob, especially when you have nothing but your intuition guiding you.
