Your point is what, exactly?

Doing research into things, publishing results, and shorting is perfectly legitimate. It's how Lumber Liquidators was found to be using formaldehyde. Just because someone says something you don't like, and they have a short position in the thing, doesn't mean they are wrong.

He went out of his way to foul up (read the comment section for how obviously), not that that validates his assumption that ease-of-use = IOT suitability.

He most certainly did not. In fact, you already legislated this exact point with him and he explained exactly why he made the choices he made -- in your own comment history.

I did exactly what he tried to do. It took me less than 1 hour and my node was in sync. If you use a dedicated server with sufficient bandwidth and not your laptop at home for a fullnode this can easily been done. IOT devices are connected to this fullnode and are not fullnodes themselves. I dont know what made him think otherwise.
