He never accused you of saying anything like "Bjarne is the most important person in the computer world." He just said that he disagreed with your decision that he's "the most important person in the programming world," and gave his reasoning.

His reasoning did not challenge my statement, his reasoning could've challenged the statement of "Bjarne is the most important person in the computer world".
The computer world includes and not exclusively only: Software: Games, Operating Systems, Language design and what not. Language design, again can be broken down into sub categories.
I do not think it's possible to compare Steve jobs with Bjarne or the Xerox team.
All of them are important in their particular field.
FotoPlasma, his reasoning does not attack my statement.
My statement, I when I stated I assigned it as true.
When he disagreed to my statement he did not provide any adequate proof to change my statement to false. But his reasoning could have provided proof to challenge, in my opinion, the statement, "Bjarne is the most imprtant person in the
computer world". If i stated that statement rob's reasoning would make that statement false, thus making rob correct. But the problem is that i have not stated that and he has not challenge my statement.
When i say challenge it means when you try to change the current statement value (FALSE or TRUE) by taking into account of the statement you presented.
here is how it would look like in C
PHP Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE 0
typedef unsigned char boolean; //1 byte on my system.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
boolean my_statement;
boolean rob_statement;
//the statement
my_statement = TRUE;
if(rob_statement == TRUE)
my_statement = FALSE;
else if(rob_statement == FALSE)
my_statement = TRUE;
else
my_statement = my_statement;
printf("my statement = %d (%d = true, %d = false)\n", my_statement, TRUE, FALSE);
}
until you directly dispute the statement, the statement doesnt change. Rob didn't dispute my statement.
