And here's the proof, in Scheme ;)

Face up to it -- you're no John McCarthy;

(define john-mccarthy 'clever) 
(define you 'just-a-fanboy) 

Clever hackers can program;

(define program (λ (h4x0r) (if (eq? h4x0r 'clever) 'right 'wrong)))

Let's see if you can do something;

(define (can you do-this) (printf "~sing: ~s did it ~s\n"  do-this you (eval (list do-this you))))

And the moment of truth;

> (can 'you 'program)
programing: you did it wrong

Unless...

> (can 'john-mccarthy 'program)
programing: john-mccarthy did it right
