One of the examples of how Charlie showed disrespect to Dr. Nemur is by insinuating that he is not a genius at all. Of course, at this stage, he was becoming smarter. The smarter he became, the less intelligent he thought others were.
On one occasion, he asked Dr. Strauss how Nemur (apparently omitting to call him doctor) could refute Rahajamati's attack on his method and results if Nemur couldn't even read them in the first place.
From the Flowers of Algernon, here is the story of Charlie who used to be slow mentally but all of a sudden became very smart as a result of surgery on his brain.
