There is nothing ridiculous in this statement. You are talking about "exceptional" workers, not about normal or even bad workers. Exceptional workers are in short supply in any profession. According to the logic of software industry, the solution should be to import workers from other nations, because then we would have access to the best of the best.

Of course it is not like that. Software engineers from India or China are on average as good as the ones in the US. If something could make a difference is education. Now, if engineers in the US are not as good the ones coming from Asia, the country should do something to fix this issues first by paying more and educating them in a superior way.

Read the comment I replied to, he was talking about exceptional cab drivers and exceptional accountants, thus making his statements ridiculous.
