In highschool, grade 11 computer science I got 101% end of year grade; the average of the class was 100%: the person who got 99% was barely in class however completed their assignments, and I got 101% because I would quickly finish my assignments and then was happy and excited to help others if they were running into trouble. I quite wish my other classes were scored that way as well... TL;DR There's nothing wrong giving credit where credit is due.
I always wished I could take my extra credit out of one class and apply it to another. I didn't know the term in the modern gamer sense at the time, but I would have minmaxed the heck out of my school years.
I think he was just saying that it seems hard to justify anything with a 200 mile range and no access to traditional fueling stations going "over and above" 100%.

Had nothing to do with smarts, I just had been using computers and started to teach myself programming at 11 years old.
