Nowadays I just hear "Cold and calculating" as a very strong, very good compliment. Consider this 'opposite' version:
"Heated and mathematically-illiterate"...
...Yeah, I'll take the implied "emotionless and unromantic" (which obviously stems from not fully understanding the target of those words) with the nice compliment on my mathematical abilities over the obvious insult to my knowledge and self-control.
In general, the opposite of something vicious is also vicious.
The virtuous description being something like:
"Temperate and well-rounded"
Agreed, but I do think it's better to be warm and calculating!
Indeed! Warmth definitely contains more neg-entropy than non-warmth.
