You both know you will never accomplish 1/10th what he has. You will never be remotely as successful as he. You will never be remembered as he will. All for what, in your arrogence, you consider to be work that is inferior to your own. Thus you both spend incredible time and effort to try to tear his work down in doing so you hope to "educate" us poor ignorant simpletons; for is we were only smarter, if we only understood more, we would like you and your work better.
It truley is pathetic, but completely understandable.
