I can imagine this being true too. How do you come to these conclusions though?

  Pure anecdata. :) I know people who are one-of-a-few experts in technology that is critical to a particular industry, and there's not always good succession plans in place for when they retire. I could absolutely be wrong in this case - it might be well enough understood that you don't need decades of raw experience to begin to scratch the surface - but at the same time there really are so many advanced technologies held together by one or a few experts.

  I can believe it by extrapolating from my own domain (which is nothing to do with GPUs), where there are a bunch of people with mid-level knowledge, a very small number of people with deep knowledge, and an utterly tiny population of unique individuals who are the ultimate architects. I guess it’s a power law distribution like so many other things.
