You can certainly take away a different interpretation of the evidence than I do, but to me the gestalt of the man's public persona and actions add up to a picture of a person entirely driven by a desire for power, not some narrow notion of "improving transportation".

That you don't see the same thing demonstrates your own bias to give certain people and behaviors more room for doubt. Which is fine, as long as you recognize it's still a bias. We are the same kind of meat-machine, with the same bugs. Don't try to act like you're above it.
