the thinking relies on the "sufficiently smart XYZ".
similar to
- true C++ developers do not write bugs
- true agile practitioners build paradise on earth (i jest)
- good enough AI coder are vastly more efficient than manual coders
etc.
when somebody's first answer to a problem/inquiry is "you're not good enough or else you would see the lights" it raises alarms in my head.
that said, my first steps in programming were forth (and hp RPL). so i got some familiarity, read code, wrote code, wrote basic interpreters too (for learning purpose). forth is cool and has its uses.

You are kind of right about that, as it is often leads to the "No true Scotsman" fallacy [1]. On the other hand, one should be cautious of not using that as an excuse to give up when one has reached a progress plateau and the next learning curve looks steep.
