Name one product he has successfully created. The dripping self victimization is disgusting.

He's got some un-controversially good opinions but he also has some opinions that are just plain stupid. Since his opinions don't compile and aren't testable, it's not easy to rate their over all value.

I think that's the source of consternation: he preaches, and has religious fervor, but what has his principle set built (even if it's not him doing the building!)? I honestly don't know the answer there...but it's definitely not obvious. It frames his arguments are 'just trust me', which rubs a lot of people wrong.
