If you had kept going down the list, you'd see this:

> The studies only compare differences among developers who actually complete the task.

> Their figures don’t take into account the people (~10% in some studies) who didn’t even finish. Nor can they take into account the real-world cost of software that is nominally completed but is so buggy, flaky, or hard to maintain that it has to be rewritten by someone else."



I still wouldn't call anyone who eventually completes a task given indefinite time to an unspecified level of qualify to be 1x.
