I don't see any wrong in hero-worshipping. Amiga has always been about hero coders. Think about dancing fools for example :-)
I respect expertize in any field. I believe that the Friedens were not kernel experts 2 years ago (might be wrong, though), but I guess that they know what they are doing right now :-D
I also respect other achievements, like AROS and MorphOS. I hadn't mentioned this but at least MarkTime talked about Pegasos first ;-)
Give them all the chance to show you miracles - and have a nice weekend everyone! :-)
