You're attacking a straw man.

Saying something is "a feat" is a long way from saying they're a monster.

The statement in the article would sound to a non-technical audience like this guy is some sort of hacking magician, and I'm sure nobody minds this perception for the reason I mentioned above.

I'm just providing a counterpoint as well as a reason why there's an incentive to make this guy sound more skilled & evil than he really is.
