Hi,
Einstein had further sympathetic features:
1. avid sailor, owned several small boats
Einstein: Yes Poincaré: No
Named 'Tinef'. Still had it when he died.
2. talking walks with Gödel in Gödel
Einstein: Yes Poincaré: No
Yes, daily. Given Goedel's immense paranoia Einstein
was one of the very few people that he trusted.
3. Answering "I am a pacifist and a scientist."
to U.S. immigration authorities:
Einstein: Yes Poincaré: No
Unsourced, afaik. But it has the right ring to it.
4. Easy memes like Einstein / Zweistein / Dreistein

Einstein: Yes Poincaré: No
'Hogwarts' translates to 'Zweinstein'.
5. What else?
6. Filling in 'Human' under 'Race'
when having to fill in a form for the US Immigration Authorities.
Einstein: Yes Poincare: No
7. Having a nasty politician for nephew:
Einstein: No Poincare: yes
8. And finally, being a good, practical engineer:
Einsten: Yes Poincare: Yes

BTW, Those 'Avenue Poincare, 'Place Poincare' etc. are nor for him.
OTOH there are some genuine 'Einsteinplatz', 'Einsteinstrasse', etc.
