It's much easier to demand proof than it is to present it, isn't it?

This is particularly true when we're talking about a subject that's notoriously tricky to measure (programmer productivity) and subjective (what the hell makes for a good programmer anyway?).

At the end of the day, there's only so much usable data to work with, and you can't blame people for making decisions on limited data. That said, if you know of any data that disproves his point, I'd love to see it.
