The issue is why bring up the language at all? Why even mention that it was written "in a few lines of Wolfram", rather than just pointing people to the source?

The issue is why bring up the language at all? Why even mention that it was written "in a few lines of Wolfram", rather than just pointing people to the source? Because that's how advertisers speak. They don't say "this coffee is delicious" they say "This single-source Starbucks coffee is delicious." You can speak the truth and be informative while still maintaining your dignity and respecting other people's right to objectivity. He's not doing that. He's asking you to sacrifice your objectivity because it serves him. The self-aggrandizing tone he takes is an affront to the objective simplicity of truth -- that even if he wasn't here to do the things he does, they would still be doable. He writes as though this is not true. He doesn't just say "Rule 30 is one of those rules that has an 'organic' feel to it." He says something like "This Rule 30 that I discovered, is what I call a 'class 4' rule -- one that has an organic feel." It's like he has a compulsive inability to separate plain facts from his own brand. He has to constantly remind you that he is the god who made these things possible.
