The problem with people making comments like this:

is that people who don't know what's going on might take Paul's comments seriously, and the next thing we know we're seeing mistakes like the Purism laptop. 

It's also not very nice, given the amount of effort that we have made over the years to get the blobs opened up, for Paul to claim that we "don't understand how much power we have." Unless you've been involved in these discussions, you can't possibly understand how difficult they are.
