It doesn't but I don't get why saying someone is smart makes their work better when smart people obviously make stupid decisions and give stupid answers. I've used protobuffs, they're fine. I was riffing on Kenton's justification.

My only point was that it's absurd to call them "amateurs", and that the author damages his own credibility by doing so.

Because being smart is related to making less stupid decisions? Think about it in terms of probability.

Smarter -> less probability of making stupid decisions and giving stupid answers.

Dumber -> more probability of making stupid decisions and giving stupid answers.
