You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. And that's fine but it is kind of adding a lot of noise and zero signal.

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.
I have a research degree in computer science from one of the best universities on the planet, I have been using Unix systems for over 25 years, have been the go to person for billion dollar companies (you know the person they beg for help), and I don't know what I am talking about?
I have even used Plan9 and the silly editor.
I probably have forgotten more than you (or Thompson) has ever known.
Thompson is an amateur, because all of his programs are of "trust me, bro"-quality. Call me when Ken (and all the n00bs from that era) grows up and implements grep in Rocq.
