If anyone blames you for getting fired up by my original phrasing it won’t be me! I thought I was making a drive-by anecdotal observation about a signal I’ve used to work with smarter people than myself, by the time I had read it over once or twice there were like 100 child comments and it was too late to choose more temperate language.
It wasn’t my intention to imply that I was smart personally, rather that of the crazy effective people I’ve had the privilege of working with, Haskell hackers are wildly over-represented in that group.
