I don't think their point was that "[all] people who love programming are great at it". So far, from the people I have met, I would agree that having a love for the craft distinguishes very good programmers from exceptionally good ones. There's only so much you can do against someone who is talented and enjoys spending even more time learning something.

Yeah, my issue was with the word "usually". "Can be" I would have accepted. I think what you've said is a lot closer to the mark. A love of programming can distinguish the very good from the exceptional. Although I'd be envious of whoever has the dilemma of having to select a manager from only very good or exceptional candidates. That's the minority of us. Most of us are average or above average, and applying that rule tends to pick someone closer to my example.
