> Genius (and I'll be using that term sarcastically from here on in)

Slightly off topic, but it really bugs me when people ridicule these workers who are just doing what they've been instructed to do. Seems to happen all too often when discussing the Genius Bar.

I think he's ridiculing the names "Genius" and "Genius Bar", not the workers.
Maybe, but it can easily be interpreted as mean spirited, and added nothing at all to the discussion.

A Microsoft MVP probably shouldn't be throwing shade at another company's marketing term.

Seems to me it is rather agnostic, entirely directed at the fact that with "Genius" comes certain higher expectations.
