Probably more than you'd think, although they'd not be so dumb as to vocalise it as one's career depends entirely on one's percieved capabilities.

Actually at least Carmack did.

Why would vocalizing that be dumb? It's actually not a matter of perceived capabilities, but of concrete results, and, in the case of those guys, there aren't plenty of room for discussion on this regard..
