It's a lot less complicated than it sounds.

Some average joes (you know who they are) with zero skin in the 
game are given the chance to talk to incredible programmers and 
have them answer in a sort of ego-tripping trance.

But the only way to have them answer is to troll more or less 
subtly, and this behaviour has been going on for years.

The lesson should only be that the leadership **should not have 
to listen to this whole load of non-sense** from anonymous 
low-achievers that blame their tools. And they want things that 
works well to fail with them.

Do you imagine half the users of python-dev publicly berating 
Guido, every day for anything he would says? No, because that 
would be incredibly ridiculous.

Hence why we have so many "helpful", anonymous poster who come 
with bullet lists of things to do, every day. This must stop 
because it is neither helpful nor with good intentions.
