Actually, I think one of his strongest points is about making mistakes -- everyone does them and everyone makes the most amateur of them. If you haven't tried running SCA on your code, try it sometime. I've got a ridiculous ego, but when you get hundreds of warnings on your code, you realize just how imperfect you can be and how impossible it is to be cognizant of all things at all times. This is why teams are almost always better, and I'd prefer to review and be reviewed by someone else -- I'm my own biggest blind spot.
