It should be noted that while he did utter that quote, the interview being posted choose to use it as the title, likely to get the reaction it has (i.e. being shared, not for the content of the interview but more from the controversial nature of that quote.) Also, having been following Simpson for some time, I believe him when he tried to clarify later that this wasn't from a place of ego. Rather, it's because he's written and talked so much about JavaScript that he's bound to have also forgotten a lot also. Still, it was a poor choice of words to try to express that, and made worse by the article using that as it's headline.
