Er, yea.

This is hacker news. You better be precise, accurate, and correct. Or it won't work. And you're toast.

Don't like it? Go watch figure skating. And let me know who wins. If you can.

Yet many hackers can't write well enough to pitch their ideas to others and can't design a website that's usable to save their lives. There's utility for more subjective judgements even in the geekiest of pursuits.

The assertion, though is that grades that subjective aren't worth much.
