World rank number 8 is not competitive? Lol.

A single experiment getting to 8th ranked player is a major win for his theory. Tens of thousands of players try to get there and fail.

Anyway, I really don't care about chess, so make of it whatever you want.

That's not how it works.

Don't give me this of all time nonsense. Rank 8 at any time is a major accomplishment. You have no idea about chess if you think it's not a huge accomplishment. And yes that's how it works, think Bayesian instead of yes/no.
