It explicitly disclaims that the only reason Theora won was because of Youtube's utterly awful H.264 encoder--which they have since replaced with x264 for exactly that reason.
gmaxwell, one of the Theora devs and the author of that post, has personally requested that I bonk every single person who makes any claim as to Theora being nearly as good, equal to, or better than H.264, because such claims create expectations which they know they cannot possibly reach. The single worst thing people can do for Theora is to market it based on false claims.
Therefore, BONK.
