It appears observation, speculation, and dissent is not tolerated here. Linus himself says his perfectionism contributed to the delay of the project. Perfectionism is a symptom, not a character flaw, and not who Linus is. It never stands alone and predicts other symptoms. Another commenter who was already aware confirmed my suspicions. If Linus happened to not be aware, then it is possible this thread may have enlightened him to seek corrective treatment. Compassion is more important than noses getting bent out of shape, and frankly, thin skin is a tell-tale symptom of psychological disorder. Sticks and stones.

Your comment is a straw man, as that is not at all what I've argued, which is simply, beyond fraud, personality probably contributed to the project's untimely delay.
