I think the general gist was summed up in Levy[1]: "If a hacker's made, he's got to be born; but if a hacker's born, he's gonna be made." (I haven't read Levy in ages, and I am probably mangling the quote. I can't even be sure that it's from Levy. FWIW, I think the originator was either Gosper or GLS.)
