The Emperor was so far beyond even the primarchs let alone ordinary humans that he found it extremely difficult to empathise and understand what drove people, their fears, desires, ambitions etc. Probably the biggest condemnation of the Emperor was that he didn't realize how out of touch he really was with those under him which led him to make a number of terrible miscalculations which led directly to the heresy itself.
