After the other Steve bragged about everything he accomplished during his time in control, Steve points out that actually his other self did very little on his own; ultimately all Steve's counterpart did was take advantage of Steve's long-standing reputation and tell a few lies, when it would have been far more impressive if he'd spent years actually building that reputation just to take action at the right moment.
