    How about you act like an adult? Novel concept, I know.

    If person one boasts, you don't need to publicly humiliate them. You don't need to objectively prove that they are wrong.

    I could, for example, point out that you would fail a grade school level test on your grammar and punctuation.

    I could, for example, point out all of your misuses of apostrophes, commas, ellipses, and more.

    I could, if I wanted to, insinuate that you lack intelligence and education by pointing out these shortcomings. From those insinuations I could make an accusation against you, based on these hard facts and your own stated reliance on parsers, that you lack the skills and awareness to perform well without extra help.

    That would hurt if I did it, wouldn't it?

    It would also be factually true, at leased based on the small, but very telling, data we have at hand.

    The lesson here?

    Simple: The community will be better off if you check your ego at the door.

    You could have just said:

    "I don't believe your claims regarding your performance. I would recommend that you check your own parsing data to confirm your claim."

    You could have left it there.

    It makes no sense to humiliate someone over a boast. You stepped over the line kiddo.
