The Emperor was more powerful, more intelligent, more everything than any other human in history - that was his greatest strength & his greatest flaw. He was so far above anybody else he ever met that had no way to understand how people felt & thought & that included his sons. Moreover the Emperor had never been raised in any sort of family dynamic of any kind let alone raised anyone himself. Combine the lack understanding & no experience of the family dynamic with his certitude in his infallibility & is there any surprise that the Emperor failed so completely as a father?
