New engine ideas, new rendering techniques, things you and me perhaps don't think of. I see what you are trying to say but I think you totally misunderstood him. But if you would really care then you should ask him via twitter.
And I see no reason to sh** on him or id software just because Rage didn't turn out to be what it used to be. Especially you don't seem to like him because he said something negative about PS3 which is laughable, really.
Edit: A nice blogpost from a rendering technique guy: http://c0de517e.blogspot.de/2013/12/shit-people-say-graphics-have-peaked.html

There's nothing the current gen consoles can do that the next gen consoles cannot do. So why wait? New engines would still benefit from mpre powerful consoles. If anything, he just wanted time to try and redeem himself.

He doesn't say you should wait. He just said they are "far from tapped out". The text in the article "Carmack seems to feel that you can only really move on from a generation once you've full mastered the previous one." is pure speculation and doesn't reflect what Carmack said.
And really, he has nothing to prove for people like you and me - his work was and is still important for the whole industry. If you won't accept that, nobody cares. It doesn't change the facts.
