Over time. But for a given instant, specialization will always win. That message is for researchers, who seek to have long term impact and it's bitter because it goes against their desire to provide long term impact from their own clever abstraction or insights.

But it's informative for the engineers that need something right now, because it means taking the best general purpose tool and specializing it will outperform the general tool, and you can sustain that if you are willing to always hop tools and respecialize. As we may.
