Skypillar tells us, "I hate the persistent and damaging myth that competition is somehow an elevated, good thing."
I have a feeling that this sentiment is shared by many people who are attacking McClelland, and that it is at the root of the shocked offense that so many are indulging in here. It is true, I'm sure, that most people do not like to compete, and are content to live off the fruits of those that do. Perhaps that is what is translating into the "Hey, I'm great if I finish" argument - I suspect it is - and the reason why McClelland's article is touching a nerve.
