The author's opinion about the direction of rails would be more justified if he was a contributor, which he doesn't appear to be.
But no, you mischaracterize my position, which is that his opinion would be way more justified if he was critiquing someone who had led a failure, or if he had some really valuable insight that DHH didn't have, or if he had led something even more successful than what DHH has managed.
