Isn't the statement "Nobody is Special" immediately falsified by the list of "Big names" that follow it, e.g. "Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs ... Warren Buffet ... [and even] Linus Torvalds"?

These are nearly universally recognizable names ... for a reason.

Torvalds "invented a new way", "took the risk", and enabled people to more quickly implement their own ideas. Nobody else did or was doing that. Doesn't that makes him special?
