The evidence that is coming out from kaggle doesn't support the claim of teams with experienced specialized skill. Teams of a single student have beat out entire industry of companies (the essay score competition for example).

Kaggle competitors work on small data sets, so algorithmic problems don't really surface there.
Just because your algorithm can "beat" an industry's worth of work doesn't mean it can be implemented in a practical or efficient way.
