Why is this comment getting downvoted? I see that it adds insight to the subject and makes some good points, which OP even acknowledges. The written complaint is that revelation is not being deferential enough, which is bullshit on an in-depth technical discussion.
There's a difference between "not being deferential" (which I don't think the complaint is) and talking down to someone who's clearly built something very cool. Put another way, there's a difference between dismissing someone's approach and asking questions to try to understand it better.
"Deferential" has nothing to do with it. In a technical discussion, the focus should be purely on the content. Inserting one's self into it (such as by being supercilious) detracts from that.
