I think the general gist was summed up in Levy[1]:
"If a hacker's made, he's got to be born; but if a hacker's born, he's
gonna be made."
(I haven't read Levy in ages, and I am probably mangling the quote. I
can't even be sure that it's from Levy. FWIW, I think the originator
was either Gosper or GLS.)
Cheers,
