Just to elaborate on this -- I have no problems to believe that DJB is a
genius, his IQ may be really enormous, but unfortunately he was hurt by the
problem many geniuses are hurt as well -- communication with him requires
genius as well. So for example, take a look at "usable by humans" output of
his EPLF (http://crackmonkey.org/faq.html#ANSWER23), or try to tell me how
to make email alias with dot in the name part (like matej.sr@example.com )
using his .qmail-* files (here is the manpage
http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/dot-qmail.html) -- I am probably an idiot,
but it took me three hours and a lot of googling, before I found an answer.
And I have to confess, I don't like programs which make me feel like an
idiot.
Best,
Matěj

That distinction is reflected in the apocryphal remark made by a
French diplomat to his British counterpart: "This is all very
well in practice, but will it work in theory?".
