Heh, even then you're on shaky ground.
Years ago I worked in a department that had a 'golden boy' - he was the guru of everything software-related and his boss never questioned his decisions.
Trouble was, he wasn't a 'team player' and only did the work he considered interesting, and refused to document anything he did.
Well, the small pond got a little bigger, the boss moved on and the new boss tolerated his attitude for less than 12 months before he was "no longer required."
Regards,
