Reasonable on 13 October 2009
Oh dear, they do seem determined to say just the wrong thing.
A game is code, it can be replicated so long as you understand the principle you're wanting to replicate - i.e. while I think Turn 10 have done some decent stuff with physics (although like the Digital Foundry analysis I don't think it's quite as amazing as they make out) it can clearly be replicated by any suitably experienced coder aiming for the same results.
Sure, your average guys aren't going to match it easily, but a good developer? Of course they could.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
