His point is actually a good one even if you don't agree with his characterization of himself. Decentralize the devs. Homogeneity of thought is not good for resiliency.

If a problem is expressed, and the devs in lockstep ignore it, Bitcoin becomes weaker.

Okay, again I don't care about Luke's reputation (or Lopp's for that matter). I care about code. I don't need anyone's reputation to run code.

Sure, but the code is a means to an end. The reputation of people writing or influencing the code obviously matters.

Writing yes, influencing no. You can't influence good code into bad code. You have to write bad code. I don't care if Bill Gates coded bitcoin. If the code is sound his proclivities are irrelevant.
