So, where he writes on StackOverflow - "Is there, for example any real reason that even such famous results as... the Poincaré conjecture, really matter?" He is writing from the perspective of someone who played a key role in solving the Poincaré conjecture. Remarkable context! (Though the word "Poincaré" doesn't technically appear in his Wikipedia biography; it's disguised as "geometrization conjecture").
