Not the author, but . . . Better can mean better at learning or teaching, cleaner approaches to problem-solving, interesting combinations of ideas I wouldn't have thought of, more potential, or any number of other things. I firmly believe in only hiring people who are better than I am. That involves looking for ways the candidate is better than I am instead waiting for the candidate to fail the entrance exam.
