Hamish was making a general statement (and stating his opinion) about what he saw as the likely outcome of lowering the barriers to entry.
Jeff, given the many good points you've made that made perfect sense to me, the phrase "lowering the barriers to entry" struck me as strange when you used it in an earlier message.
There's already an inherent lower bound on the barrier to entry for Cocoa. You have to understand certain fundamentals -- some conceptual, some procedural. If you don't have those fundamentals, you'll never make Cocoa work. There is also a set of people on this planet who are trying to grasp those fundamentals and are perfectly capable of doing so. To argue that it's better for the platform if those people take a little longer to become proficient at Cocoa seems to me a bit odd.
