Where they are today isn’t that close of a difference, yes, but that’s not what I’m saying. The people, the egos, the understanding of the technologies they’re dealing with, the investor traction, buy-in from other sources.
Look at them with a bit more nuance that “one fraud, one not fraud” and you can see how small the difference is between a “genius” and a fraudster.
