Yes, so you say, and I'm the pope on alternate Sundays. Appeals to authority are meaningless without identity. Meanwhile, I highly doubt you are qualified to polish Thompson's shoes, all I see is an AC novelty account making dumb claims with hindsight. Anyway, enough with you, off to the ignore list.
Not sure what kind of idiotic website this is that people more qualifed than the average idiot here are "flagged". Thompson is completely irrelevant to computer science. Any idiot can write a program, but only some people can make an actual contribution. Knuth actually did something useful in comparison. Also, Knuth was able to articulate.
