I agree that a certain skepticism is required here.
OTOH, I've been pairing for what, 18 years, more-or-less full-time. That's
not an untrue statement, tho I readily subscribe to all Adam's demurrals. I
don't pair 8 hours a day, and I don't work 250 days a year, either. I'm
just saying the claim could just be somewhat overstated, not intentional
complete bullshit.
Cheers,
GeePaw
