Comment Re:At the same time (Score 1) 323

Without the force of Churchill's personality, it's likely that the government would have been swayed by Lord Halifax into making some kind of settlement with Hitler.

In that case, the other things wouldn't have had the chance to happen.

Maybe the US would still have got the A-bomb. But with only one front to fight on it's possible the Germans would too.

Comment Re:Depends how you evaluate the curve (Score 1) 425

Assuming that nobody is born able to program, play music or do any other artificial skill, then people must travelling from the left arm to the right one as they pick up experience.

So why is the "bridge" so low? There must be people on that part of the curve to top up the elites as they retire, die, join communes in Vermont etc. Do they pass through it very fast? I don't see a plausible case for that. It's not like there's one or two magic things you need to grok and voila, you're Dennis Ritchie.
