He seems to suffer from massive ego. He always assumes that if his stuff is failing, it’s somehow someone else’s fault, and refuses to acknowledge fault even when evidence is presented.
At least that’s what’s been apparent to me from the things that I’ve read by him and about him.
He often has a lot of good points, but it's not enough when assuming a pivotal role in society. You cannot just be right 60% of the time, because 40% people leftover is far too much. It's saddenning for instance, PA had valueable goals, but if the design assumes hardware that doesn't exist (exagerating) then it's not a good fit for a standard audio stack.
And I'm not sure it's really ego.. I'd rate him at about 0.07geohots.
