Well that’s silly, by that logic no one is ever qualified to ever be skeptical about anything because every single person in existence lives in a bubble of their own variety. I mean you’re in your own bubble making this judgement right now - is it inconceivable to you that someone has truly met some extremely intelligent people and what I’m saying follows about Bob here? Maybe time to get out of your own bubble ;).

It's only silly if you're unable to comprehend what's implied and need everything spelled out to you explicitly. Everyone is in a bubble. This is obvious. Nobody needs to be told this. The entire earth is in itself a literal bubble. Again, Nobody needs to be told this. Obviously what's going on here when I use the word "bubble" is I'm saying your "bubble" is small and low such that you don't think someone with superior productivity can exist. The description of Bob doesn't mesh with you, while for others who live in bigger bubbles think there's nothing abnormal here. So Obviously I'm talking about the Size of the bubble... and I'm saying your bubble is small. You said it's not because you're in academia, and I said academia is the ultimate <small> bubble and I gave my reason why. I didn't think it would need spelling out, but obviously the way forward is to further describe your "bubble" what makes you think it isn't "small" or "low". I mean this is pretty obvious. For example... which academic institution, which major, and what other experiences you have outside of academia? >Maybe time to get out of your own bubble ;). Of course this is Possible. But, obviously I'm not in agreement with you, and our disagreement is the purpose of this discussion. Your counter was "academia." So I emphasized how that doesn't tell me anything. Again, what do you think the obvious next step is?
