True, but I think it's allowable for him to simply be wrong without being labeled a complete idiot. Many other smart people have been on the wrong side of history wrt BTC. I'm guessing he just doesn't spend as much time thinking about this stuff given his other commitments. He does happen to have a huge platform and enjoys being unfiltered in his communications.

Yeah, I just think people are protecting consensus from someone with a potentially outsized influence. Influence is a weapon in a consensus based system. Although I doubt any single figure aside from certain core devs have much absolute influence over consensus.
