"In retrospect I realize that in almost everything that we worked on together, we were both amateurs. In digital physics, neural networks, even parallel computing, we never really knew what we were doing. But the things that we studied were so new that no one else knew exactly what they were doing either. It was amateurs who made the progress."
That being said, Wolfram does have enough interesting stuff to say that I'll forgive his occasional bit of self promotion.
