Nitpick: I think this post would have been better if you’d used “most capable researcher” rather than “most awesome person”. One can be awesome without being a skilled researcher, or a skilled researcher without being in general awesome. I think the term is too much of a mushy applause-light to do much serious analytical work in any case.
On the whole I agree.

I agree, but it seems to me that the concept with which many minds are working is exactly the mushy applausy one.
