> Geohot is famous for not being as smart as he makes out
That someone isn't as intelligent as they think they are doesn't place an upper bound on their intelligence.

The GTA fix shows humility, literally the first sentence of the "recon" section is "First I wanted to check if someone had already solved this problem". Geohot wasn't interested in if anyone had tried and failed to "solve search", or why it might be a difficult problem. He assumed that Twitter were a bunch of idiots.
The whole approach of the GTA fix author is curious and humble. Very low ego.
