  The article of this post also does. I’m unsure what point you’re trying to make?

    Nothing! Just a cool factoid!

  Valve's manual talks about expertise, not physical traits: "We value “T-shaped” people.That is, people who are both generalists (highly skilled at a broad set of valuable things—the top of the T) and also experts (among the best in their field within a narrow disci-pline—the vertical leg of the T). This recipe is important for success at Valve. We often have to pass on people who are very strong generalists with-out expertise, or vice versa. An expert who is too narrow has difficulty collaborating. A generalist who doesn’t go deep enough in a single area ends up on the margins, not really contributing as an individual."
