A lot of people miss it because they don’t watch him (which is extremely OK, and maybe even good). Many also seem to ignore people who explain this in every thread, so we are always at the same starring point instead of developing better criticisms and viewpoints.

Nobody even has to like the guy at all, but the question needs to be “how do we use him/his community?”
