The moral is that Bohr just was a guy who lucked into being in the right time and place to contribute to quantum mechanics but that does not make him an otherwise exceptionally insightful into it. Actually, this also is kind of the case with Maxwell. He managed to put together the all-important theory about electromagnetic waves while having in his mind some weird mechanical image of the vacuum that makes one wonder what this guy was actually thinking. And I have to add to this that I consider Maxwell to be a much greater physicist than Bohr. It could well be that being the discoverer of something leads to some kind of intellectual myopia and that further generations are needed to look more sensibly at what was actually discovered.
