Yes, but these are things that he a)he proposed those votes himself, probably as an exercise in proving there is value in the concept (a share would be worthless if all it allowed was voting unimportant things). b)he complied with only to keep share price up. The article says it: "If he doesn't do whatever we say, we'll sell and his share price will fall". The worse that will happen is that experiment will be a failure, which is inherently the case if he doesn't respect his shareholder's decisions anyway.
