The minute you started quoting Douglass Adams you lost the plot. I am huge fan of his writing and the man had a wicked sense of humor most are simply not capable of appreciating. However you clearly are either being obtuse now or are suffering from Witzelsucht .
Please by all means read all four books of the series, "So long and thanks for all the fish" is arguably the best of the four books because it provides some closure. If you have a little time read Dirk Gently too but try to refrain from using any of its passages to support an argument.
I answered your question. You just wrote 2 paragraphs consisting of advice in order to gain intellectual leverage.
no counter argument whatsoever.
No you really did not. You quoted a sci fi author noted for bringing humor to sci fi. He was not exactly Asimov or Clarke intellectually and I've read all of his works. Try staying on topic . You can quote all types of nonsense from a fiction author but it does nothing to support your argument . Seriously do you suffer from Witzelsucht ? it would explain a lot at this point in the discussion ...
He makes a very valid point no matter who he was. If someone has a quality already and someone else needs to work for that
who is better? is as simple as this
