Did you not read the section of my comment asking for an assumption of competence? In no way am I arguing that he is incompetent based on his GitHub -- just the opposite.
I really don't think my point was that complicated. The OP latched on to a minor word choice in order to make a judgment about the poster's competence. If we picked an equally arbitrary measure, like github excellence, the OP would not fair so well either. However, it is quite obvious that both metrics are fairly poor. Instead of making snap judgments of people, maybe we could just give them the benefit of the doubt?
Your point is not complicated, but on the other hand you didn't actually make it until now. You relied on me understanding that you consider you consider judgement-by-Github to be equivalent to judgement-by-terminology. But honestly: how was I to know that "hey yer Github sucks" was actually an exemplification of what the next sentence in your post said not to do, and not just an ordinary internet insult?
