> nobody doubts demonstrated competence

Absolute statement, confidently made, obviously incorrect. Is there a level of "wit" you feel this represents?

As per modus operandi of the midwit, you didn't demonstrate anything. You just disagreed.

I implore you to bring evidence where demonstrated competency of John Carmack or Michael Abrash is called into question. Demostrate how that is a phenomenon or a trend. And if you can't, I rest my case.

It is obvious to any reasonable person that in the statement "nobody" doesn't literally mean not a single entity within 8 billion population of the planet.
