I can use your logic to prove that no one is good at anything: "Super star athletes do not exist, because athletic ability is not a scalar. Ask a little league

I can use your logic to prove that no one is good at anything:
"Super star athletes do not exist, because athletic ability is not a scalar. Ask a little league player to hit a tee-ball 15 feet and an MLB player. The ball will get to 15 feet at roughly the same time. Actually since it's too easy, your super-hero might get bored and become even slower then the little league player. Now ask them to hit a home run at Wrigley Field. The little league player would give up, regardless the amount of time you give him."
- pkolaczk 11y agoI never said super-star programmers do not exist. I just don't like the term "10x" because it suggests there is some scalar measure of skill.
- SamReidHughes 11y agoThere are many scalar measures of skill. They are well-correlated with one another.
