I admire his (or his company's) high production values (I bet many would interpret my "slick" comment as a slur though!) but these certainly stand separate to his/their work's scientific merit which I'll sadly never be smart enough to judge ;-)
I suspect much of his/their success comes through his/their Jobsian eye for detail and ability in presentation and while this is at its best when applied to meritorious work, it's certainly a skill/asset in its own right too.
- ISL 13y agoDon't confuse "smart" and "knowledgeable". If you choose to do so, you could become sufficiently knowledgeable about the field to judge for yourself with reasonable confidence Wolfram's and Wolfram's company's scientific contributions. In my field, there are many people smarter than I am. Many of my significant contributions to others come from knowledge and experience.
