I was part of the Carmack cult but the illusion was broken when I saw him use the same authoratative tone on a subject I'm more knowledgable about.

I don't think gellman amnesia is really a material issue. Carmack is indubitably an expert in his field, but that doesn't mean he's an expert in every field (like aerospace or AI). I'm an expert in some things, but I've probably said some stupid shit in other fields where I dabble such as cooking, playing music, raising cats.
Such as? Any links to this?
Good old Gell-Mann Amnesia! It doesn't mean he's incompetent in his core area of expertise, though.
