* You've never met a 10x engineer, and you can reason clearly and cogently as to why they don't exist, so you conclude that they don't exist;
* Someone ... indeed, several someones ... tell you they they have met, worked with, and/or managed people who really are 10x engineers;
* You say that these people must be wrong.
