Exactly.

Now if we start arguing if Torvalds "deserves" to be richer than Gates (even though both are quite better than adequate programmers from their time) that's a different story.

But in the end most of it really sounds like sour grapes and complaining.

I'm not saying people aren't better at things than others. The thread was about whether these people deserved special treatment or a different set of rules because of this.
