Perhaps people are simply projecting what they think "the spirit in which Tim Berners-Lee created the web" is on the man?
Even if he put words to them early on, it's easy for someone to claim lofty ideals when creating something and later realize that's not true to what they believe in.
This whole fanboy-heroism is probably a big part of why people don't act for themselves and are left to cry when their 'glorious leaders' "betray" their interests.
- accordionclown 9y agook, fine. but then he has to give the knighthood back. > "the web must remain a universal medium, open to all > and not biasing the information it conveys..." and the macarthur fellowship too, along with its cash. and somehow retract that big flashy olympic ceremony.
