Having brittle bones doesn't make you better at gaming. Sure, he might have had more time in his day, but a learned skill is a learned skill

Is he good enough at the game to actually be pro? Yes this is a serious question.

Does it even matter? Imagine if he wasn't medically disabled. If a fully healthy person told you their dream was to be an NFL player, and instead they had become a pro Madden player, would anyone say, "Yeah, that's the same thing"?... I mean, good on this dude if he's that good a gamer (and I'll just assume he is), but he definitely didn't achieve his dream.

And if anything, it cheapens his actual accomplishment to pretend he did. Any hint of dishonesty or bending the truth in a motivational message just highlights how full of shit so much motivational messaging is.
