I'm surprised it's seen as controversial to say that some developers perform much better than others. In all fields where performance can be indisputably objectively measured, e.g. playing chess, playing computer games, athletics, there is an obvious huge difference between the best and the worst performers, and even a big difference between the performance of e.g. the top 0.01% vs top 0.1% vs top 1% etc.

Re "False equivalence as a form of "balance". If they have a world renowned expert backed by a solid scientific consensus on to talk about something they truly understand they have to get some wazzak on who disagrees. Possibly an outlier, possibly just an opinionated talking head or paid lobbyist with no formal qualifications in the matter. Then they treat both views as equal and the presenter will write the subject off as disagreement/controversial."
It was clarified fairly recently that there is no need for them to do this, just like they don't need to find someone to contest every football score that they publish.
