It's very easy to say someone is wrong, though, without calling them a shithead. Indeed, you could even go so far as to say that it fosters a more open, inviting atmosphere if you concentrate on what's right, and what's wrong, and let people have the freedom to be wrong without being labeled assholes, incompetents, and worse. This is why you don't find, in most scientific papers, descriptions of other scientists work as 'crap' or 'stupid', even if they do point out the most glaring of errors. It's left to the reader to assign the 'stupid' label.
In this specific case, I agree that there's some justified anger at labeling something ready for public consumption that appears not to be. But I just get a sense of so many crypto/security discussions being a dick-waving contest.
