I question the inclusion of Nakamoto in that list. Is there anything to suggest that they have 10X engineering abilities? Nobody says Einstein was a 10Xer even if his Annus Mirabilis had orders of magnitude more positive effect on humanity. We can respect different forms of ability and achievement without conflating them.

You brought an interesting point. Maybe we should differentiate 10x engineers (if we should keep this term alive) into two camps:
1. Super hardcore engineers like Fabrice Bellard, John Carmack or Linus Torvalds, 2. Engineers who bring insane amount of value to society, like Satoshi Nakamoto (if they were one person), and Markus Persson (founder of Minecraft).
