    Heh, well they are certainly unafraid of being perceived as self-centered!

    Better when others are the ones to hype someone up with a high superlative like this guy I found:

    Edward Witten

    When I got into computers the tech that trained me in my first coop placement in high school told me, on day one, "Anyone who ever tells you they know everything about computers is an idiot."

    Still resonates with me today and I always tell juniors the same.
