People aren't inherently better than others, but people are infinitely better at some things than others.
Terrence Tao is inherently better at mathematics than I am, and I'd be a fool to claim otherwise. Torvalds is a much better programmer than I am. There are endless examples.

- ryandrake 3y agoI'm not saying people aren't better at things than others. The thread was about whether these people deserved special treatment or a different set of rules because of this.
