Indeed, that makes it even worse. Time and time again I see people scoffing at Stallman (and others like him) as "radicals" who do nothing but impede our discourse with their outlandish fantasies, trying to center it around their paranoia instead of finding quick, pragmatic and ultimately self destructive "solutions". I have a feeling Stallman would have liked to say more, but chose to make a more modest statement. Turns out, he could have cranked it up to 11 and it would still be modest by what we know today.
