jbsmith, great post. You are so right on this point, the "X" factor is really important, because it's what distinguishes the ordinary people from the extraordinary people. Redefining the limits, not accepting the startard definition of what's possible, is very important.
And in the beggining of your post, i don't consider that you're showing off at all, it's actually good that you display your credentials, so we know what's the credibility of the person giving the advice and we can have a better measure of the relevance of the advice, because there's so much people out there speaking as if they knew everything yet they have no credibility.
