This 10x notion really needs to go away. Somehow a very narrow, limited scope metric grew into something that people believe can be a general capability metric of a profession that is supposed to be rather complex. It’s like saying in one study the highest scoring SAT students scored 10x the lowest (say 1600 vs. 160) and now there is a concept of 10x high-schooler. This is just plain silly and juvenile notion.
